It's impossible to answer your question because, in your example, there is a server running that receives the file.

VB.NET is not a server so it doesn't offer the same functionality. You would have to write your own server that will accept file uploads, but then you also have to write the code to do MIME type lookups to assign a content type to the meta data you're using to track the file in your server.

Google for "vb.net get content type of file extension" and you'll find just how unstable this operation is. It's, basically, a guess at what the content type is.
