You can use the methods defined in the Microsoft.Web.Administration namespace to query the MIME types from IIS programmatically.
C#:
private void mp_ExtractMIMETypes() { using (ServerManager oServerManager = new ServerManager()) { Microsoft.Web.Administration.Configuration oConfiguration = oServerManager.GetApplicationHostConfiguration(); Microsoft.Web.Administration.ConfigurationSection oStaticContent = oConfiguration.GetSection("system.webServer/staticContent"); Microsoft.Web.Administration.ConfigurationElementCollection oMIMEMap = oStaticContent.GetCollection(); foreach (Microsoft.Web.Administration.ConfigurationElement oMIMEEntry in oMIMEMap) { Debug.Print(oMIMEEntry.Item("fileExtension").ToString().ToLower() + " " + oMIMEEntry.Item("mimeType")); } } }
Visual Basic .NET:
Private Sub mp_ExtractMIMETypes() Using oServerManager As New ServerManager Dim oConfiguration As Microsoft.Web.Administration.Configuration = oServerManager.GetApplicationHostConfiguration() Dim oStaticContent As Microsoft.Web.Administration.ConfigurationSection = oConfiguration.GetSection("system.webServer/staticContent") Dim oMIMEMap As Microsoft.Web.Administration.ConfigurationElementCollection = oStaticContent.GetCollection() For Each oMIMEEntry As Microsoft.Web.Administration.ConfigurationElement In oMIMEMap Debug.Print(oMIMEEntry.Item("fileExtension").ToString().ToLower() & " " & oMIMEEntry.Item("mimeType")) Next End Using End Sub
However you must include a reference to this dll in your project:
%WinDir%\System32\InetSrv\Microsoft.Web.Administration.dll
And the project or assembly file must have administrator privileges.
