How to check Website/URL exists or not using C#

Sometimes when user enters their website address in user registration form we have to check whether the website or URL entered by the user exists or not.

Below is a simple and very easy code to check website/URL exists or not using C# code.

First we have to add the namespace

using System.Net;

 protected void btnURLStatus_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //bool status = CheckUrlStatus("https://www.google.co.in/");//URL hard coded in the code for testing.

            bool status = CheckUrlStatus(txtWebsite.Text);//Here I am taking the value from Textbox where user enters the website address.
            if (status == true)
            {
                lblURLStatus.Text = "Yes the website exists!!!";
            }
            else
            {
                lblURLStatus.Text = "Oops the website DOES NOT exists!!!";
            }

        }
        protected bool CheckUrlStatus(string Website)
        {
          try
            {
                var request = WebRequest.Create(Website) as HttpWebRequest;
                request.Method = "HEAD";
                using (var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse())
                {
                    return response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK;
                }
            }
            catch
            {
                return false;
            }
        } 

 I hope this simple code save your time to find whether URL exists or not using ASP.NET
