In a deeper review, I notice that didn't contain common extensions like : `docx, pptx, xlsx` and ohters :(

I guess I could just add those :)

+2 A:

FileInfo is pretty handy

Yeap, but I can't find a listing where the extension and the content type are listed. It only says: `.doc Microsoft Word Document` Browsers don't understand "Microsoft Word document" as content type ... : -/

You can also use Reflector to look in System.Web.MimeMapping - the static constructor has a pretty long list of these things.

Well yeah , I don't want to know what are those, but actually ( as stated in my original question, what's the content type )
