how to block executable file uploading by rename it

Jul 17 2013 6:48 AM

Dear All,

I am doing an application in visual studio 2012 and sql server as beckend. In one page I have to upload a file through file upload control in asp.net. The valid file types are .txt,.doc,.jpg,.pdf. The application should not take any executable file (.exe). Normally by extension checking we can block .exe file upload. But there is another possibilities by which anyone can upload .exe file by renaming the file with valid extension. We have to block those files which are by type is executable file. How can I do that? Please help me out from here. It is too urgent.

Thanks in advance.
