How to determine if a file exists in a SharePoint SPFolder [closed]

Answer 1

But if you are using SP 2010 Client OM, it would actually throw an exception if the file doesn't exist:

using(var clientContext = new ClientContext(site))
{
     Web web = clientContext.Web;
     Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.File file = web.GetFileByServerRelativeUrl("/site/doclib/folder/filename.ext");
     bool bExists = false;
     try
     {
         clientContext.Load(file);
         clientContext.ExecuteQuery(); //Raises exception if the file doesn't exist
         bExists = file.Exists;  //may not be needed - here for good measure
     }
     catch{   }

     if (bExists )
     {
           .
           .
     }
}
