Re: [AspNetAnyQuestionIsOk] OT - check for broken images from other sites

[Mark E]

OK, this is what I have so far, but...it only works
when the image is found.  If the image does NOT exist,
I get a 404 error.  Now, I know I can trap this with a
Try statement, but that doesn't seem like an effecient
way to do to it.

Anyhow, here's my code thus far:

Dim objResponse As WebResponse
Dim objRequest As WebRequest
Dim strResult As String
objRequest =
System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create("http://www.wsfsbank.com/images/Home_Business6.jpg";)
objResponse = objRequest.GetResponse()
Dim objStreamReader As New
StreamReader(objResponse.GetResponseStream())
strResult = objStreamReader.ReadToEnd()

If strResult.Length = 0 Then
Response.Write("NO image found")
Else
Response.Write("FOUND THE image")
End If

Is there a better way to do this w/o using trying to
trap the error?

Thanks,
Mark
