Check to see if a SharePoint site exists or not
Try SPWeb.Exists
property - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.sharepoint.spweb.exists.aspx
EDIT: Also, pople suggest using this overload of OpenWeb(..)
method which has a "boolean" parameter: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa543519.aspx to ask for exception if there is no such web site. (see it explained here: http://blog.mastykarz.nl/inconvenient-opening-spsite-openweb/)

This is my code which checks if a SharePoint site exists or not.
string URL = Console.ReadLine(); using (SPSite objSite = new SPSite(URL)) { using (SPWeb objWeb = objSite.OpenWeb()) { Console.WriteLine(string.Format("Site Exists: {0}", objWeb.Exists.ToString())); } }
However, it doesn't seem to work. The "Exists" property always returns true even if the site/subsite does not exists. I get the same result when the URL is either "http://intranet" or "http://intranet/sitedoesnotexists".
Am I using this in the correct way?
Thanks
Edit
Sorry about the formatting, I was sure that I applied it but I guess I forgot.
