extension

Hi
At the moment i get file extension of the file like :

string fileExt = System.IO.Path.GetExtension(filUpload.FileName);

But if the user change the file extension of the file ( for example user could rename "test.txt" to "text.jpg" ), I can't get the real extension . What's the solution ?
