MultipartMemoryStreamProvider: filename?

Question

I already asked here how I can read uploaded files in Web Api without the need to save them. This question was answered with the MultipartMemoryStreamProvider, but how do I get the file name with this method to derive the type of the uploaded file from it?

Kind regards

There is an example in this DotNetNuke Code here (See the PostFile() method).

Get the content item you require and then access the filename property.

Something like this :

        var provider = new MultipartMemoryStreamProvider();
        var task = request.Content.ReadAsMultipartAsync(provider).
             ContinueWith(o =>
                 {
                     //Select the appropriate content item this assumes only 1 part
                     var fileContent = provider.Contents.SingleOrDefault();

                     if (fileContent != null)
                     {
                         var fileName = fileContent.Headers.ContentDisposition.FileName.Replace("\"", string.Empty);
                     }
                 });//Ending Bracket
