Check If Remote File Exists

Question

In vb.net (using vs2005), I'd like to see if www.domain.com/myfile.txt exists.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

The easiest way to access an internet URL is via the System.Net.WebClient class.

Answer 2

Assuming you can browse to this file, you could use the HTTPWebRequest class and either grab the file and check it or get a 404 error.

Answer 3
