File Upload with Macintosh users

Macintosh users are not able to upload files on our website. An exception occurs in the code below on the line "With uplFile.PostedFile" but only for Macintosh users. I did some research and some say you can't use Macintosh with asp.net upload. While others say it works but you can't use .FileName to get the extension.

Anyone know if there is a work around with file upload and Macintosh users?




File upload html used:
<input id="uplFile" type="file" runat="server" size="30" />








Code snippet from postback:

With uplFile.PostedFile
'get the file extension
strFileExt = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(.FileName).ToLower
.SaveAs(Server.MapPath("\") &amp; "/images/test" &amp; strFileExt)
.InputStream.Dispose()
End With

 

I've never even used a Mac but have seen the MacBinary problem many times.
15 Seconds did an article listing some of the problem, and solutions.
Seems using a 3rd Partycomponent in ASP.NET is used most often.

Use the server FileUpload control instead.It works fine with Mac.
