To expand on Kevin's answer.

    private bool CustomViewExists(string viewName)
    {
        using (SalesPad.Data.DataConnection dc = yourconnection)
        {
            System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand cmd = new System.Data.SqlClient.SqlCommand(String.Format(@"IF EXISTS(select * FROM sys.views where name = '{0}')
                Select 1
            else
                Select 0", viewName));
            cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
            return Convert.ToBoolean(dc.ExecuteScalar(cmd));
        }
    }
