Sometime you require to display remote images in the Web Pages, like Ads, Banner etc, it may be from different domain or a different application. This code will help you to check the existence of a Remote file


using System.Net;

/// <summary>
/// Checks the file exists or not.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="url">The URL of the remote file.</param>
/// <returns>True : If the file exits, False if file not exists</returns>
private bool RemoteFileExists(string url)
{
try
{
//Creating the HttpWebRequest
HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url) as HttpWebRequest;
//Setting the Request method HEAD, you can also use GET too.
request.Method = "HEAD";
//Getting the Web Response.
HttpWebResponse response = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse;
//Returns TURE if the Status code == 200
return (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK);
}
catch
{
//Any exception will returns false.
return false;
