How to get MIME type of file in C#



There is no direct way to get MIME type of file in C#, I have tried couple of options but didn't get any luck. though there are some WIN 32 registry and InteropServices classes from where we can get MIME type but I feel it’s too much code for getting MIME type. instead of using these classes I have found static solutions for getting MIME type, it's switch-case code for all the available MIME type based on the file extension (I know solution is not GOOD with all static file extension and MIME type)

If anyone find any better solution then Please share here ;)
