How can I get the Mime Type of a file given its path?

I know how to get the file to a stream.
But I am not able to gets its Mime Type.

Thank You,

Are you making the assumption that the MIME type is somehow stored in the
file itself? Because that's rarely the case.

If it is a remote file, then you can use HttpWebRequest
to get it and see the MIME type assigned by the server in
HttpWebResponse ContentType.

If it is a local file, then you decide what MIME type
it has.

If it is the opinion of a specific application then you
will need to check that apps config.

....and hope the Web server got it right.

It will show what MIME type it is actually being
labeled with.

Whether that is the MIME type it should have been
labeled with is another question.
