This article detect whether there is a remote URL using three methods.

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{

 string url1 = "http://dotnet.aspx.cc/";
 string url2 = "http://dotnet.aspx.cc/Images/logo.gif";
 Response.Write("<li>方法1：");
 Response.Write(url1 + " 存在：" + UrlExistsUsingHttpWebRequest(url1).ToString());
 Response.Write("<li>方法2：");
 Response.Write(url1 + " 存在：" + UrlExistsUsingSockets(url1).ToString());   
 Response.Write("<li>方法3：");
 Response.Write(url1 + " 存在：" + UrlExistsUsingXmlHttp(url1).ToString());

 Response.Write("<li>方法1：");
 Response.Write(url2 + " 存在：" + UrlExistsUsingHttpWebRequest(url2).ToString());
 Response.Write("<li>方法3：");
 Response.Write(url2 + " 存在：" + UrlExistsUsingXmlHttp(url2).ToString());
}
