Hello,
Thanks for the comments.
This is working fine.
But does it efficient?
I have to review a big directory and issue a report if I expect files and
they are not there.
Does working with Ajax like this is better (more efficient)?
xmlhttp.open("HEAD", "full.tif",true);
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function() {
if (xmlhttp.readyState==4) {
if (xmlhttp.status==200) alert("URL Exists!")
else if (xmlhttp.status==404) alert("URL doesn't
exist!")
else alert("Status is "+xmlhttp.status)
}
}
xmlhttp.send(null)
Thanks,
Lior.

location
File.Exists checks your hd whether the file is there or not.
Testing whether a file exists on the internet is something completely
different.
You might do something with WebRequest, to see if the server is
responding...
static bool Exists(string url)
{
try
{
WebRequest wb = WebRequest.Create(url);
using ( WebResponse rp = wb.GetResponse())
{
HttpWebResponse hrp = rp as HttpWebResponse;
if ( hrp != null)
{
return hrp.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK;
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
}
catch( WebException)
{
return false;
}
}
I made a few assumptions here, but it should get you started, then
again getting a file from the internet is really something else as
getting it from your hd...
