Property Value

Type: System::String^

The comma-separated list of MIME encodings.

Use this property to specify the file type that can be uploaded to the server. For example, to restrict the selection to images, set this property to "image/*".

System_CAPS_noteNote

Support for this property is browser-dependent. Check your browser to determine whether it supports this property. It is recommended that you use server-side code to ensure that the file is of the expected type.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the Accept property to restrict the user from selecting any file other than an image file. For this example to work properly, you need to create a directory called Temp on your computer's drive C. Because support for the Accept property is browser-dependent, a server-side check is performed to ensure that only images are uploaded. An exception is thrown if the uploaded file can not be read as an Image type.

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.
