Hi!
Could it be that your question has been misinterpreted?
Do you want to determine the type of file from the contents of the file because you don't trust the extension (like CG suggested) or do you want to display the name for a given extension like Windows Explorer does (for example: extension is ".txt", but explorer shows "text file")?

That's an information you get (along with the icon associated, btw.) from a call to SHGetFileInfo from shell32.dll.
Take a look at this article[^], it holds all the information you need.

The information you want is simply the szTypeName member of the SHFILEINFO struct. When you read the documentation for SHGetFileInfo you'll see that you'll have to specify the SHGFI_TYPENAME flag to query this piece of information.
It's all in the documentation, you just have to read...

I'm working on an app that's using the WebBrowser control in a c# windows application.
I got the control working fine, hooking to the document object. But I've run
into a major issue with hooking the Document events. Whenever I hook any of
the HTMLDocumnetEvent2_Event events like this:
HTMLDocumentEvents2_Event DocEvents = this.Browser.Document as
HTMLDocumentEvents2_Event ;
DocEvents.oncontextmenu += new
HTMLDocumentEvents2_oncontextmenuEventHandler(Browser_ContextMenu);
the browser document becomes unresposinve.All mouse clicks are eaten. I cannot click on any text box or any link . But the right click is disabled . Can anyone help to solve this problem such that i can disable the right click in the browser control and browser document and mouse clicks also work fine in c# windows application.
thanks

Hi Ramya,
The System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser control has a public property IsWebBrowserContextMenuEnabled. Set this boolean to FALSE, so the Context menu would not be displayed.
BTW, just as a passing reference, do remember that context menu can also be displayed using the keyboard. So setting this property of webbrowser would take care of both the 'Keyboard' and 'Mouse - Right click' related ways of displaying the context menu.

I would like to integerate outlook style dropdown list in my application. I have not found any control having exactly same functionality as in outlook dropdown used for the To, CC fields in new message window.
I used combo dropdown to filter the rows as user types in the textbox. The filtering functionality is working fine but when I use UP/DOWN arrow keys the selected text comes into the textbox which I don't want.
Is there any way which will not assign the selected text in the dropdown textbox when user navigate in the dropdown list using UP/DOWN arrow keys?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Is it a database server you are trying to connect with or a file like an access database?

The code is the same. You just specify the server ip adress (or a domain name pointing to it) as the server in the connection string.

dear deepak.
it would be better to take input type=file html control on an aspx page. you should try this
this would display a textbox along with a browse button.which on clicking at runtime will open the openfiledialog box for you to choose files from.
hope you got your answer. pleae be in touch.
all the best.

Hello,
Is it possible to create an OpenDirDialog by using standart features of C# (like SHBrowseForFolder in VC++)? I think it must be a standart function (like OpenFileDialog), but I cant find it in MSDN

Are you looking for FolderBrowserDialog?
