**Namespace:** [Aurigma.ImageUploader](https://www.aurigma.com/docs/us8/JA_N_Aurigma_ImageUploader.htm.md)
 **Assembly:** Aurigma.ImageUploader (in Aurigma.ImageUploader.dll)
 
## Syntax
  
```csharp
public string Mode { get; set; }
```
 
### Property Value
 
Type: [System..String](http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/s1wwdcbf)
 
The conversion mode of this converter.
 
Default value is **""**.
 
## Remarks
  
This property specifies a format string for a desired conversion mode. It consists of `masks=mode` pairs separated by semicolon. Each pair includes a set of file masks separated by comma and a corresponding mode. In general, this string has the following syntax:
 
`mask11,mask12,...=mode1;mask21,mask22,...=mode2;...`
 
When ActiveX/Java Uploader prepares the upload request, it parses the conversion mode format string from the beginning to the end and extracts such pairs. For each file selected for upload ActiveX/Java Uploader gives the first pair. If it finds a file mask in this pair which matches the file extension, it applies a corresponding mode. If no appropriate file mask found, ActiveX/Java Uploader checks the next pairs in the same way.
 
**Note** 
If there is no file mask corresponding to the original file extension or appropriate mode ActiveX/Java Uploader does not send this converted file.
 
This is a list of supported conversion modes:
 
|  Value |  Description |
| --- | --- |
 |  **SourceFile** |  means that the selected file will be uploaded from a user's computer without any changes. |
 |  **Thumbnail** |  works as follows. If the selected file is image, it will be resized using the parameters listed below and uploaded as JPEG file. Otherwise, a converted file will not be sent. |
 |  **Icon** |  means that a system icon associated with the selected file will be uploaded. |
 |  **Zip** |  means that a ZIP archive of the selected file will be uploaded. |
 |  **None** |  means that no file will be uploaded. |
