by the way, you dont happen to know how to check if a file exists or not on a webserver do you? i tried using IO.File.Exists(url) but it didnt work, which is not suprising.

I am not sure if .NET would support this, but if it does use an xmlhttp request(this was done in JavaScript):

xmlhttp.open("HEAD", "URL_TO_CHECK",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)
