Answer 1

yes.. you can validate by simple client script..

var uploadfile=document.getElementById("<%=FileUpload1.ClientID%>").value; //get substring to find out extension var ext= uploadfile.extension //get substring to find out extension
if (ext !=".xls") { alert("invalid format.") return false; }
