How to check if list item exists using item URL

Question

At the moment I am trying to delete list item file using this code,

            SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate()
            {
                using (SPSite site = new SPSite(properties.WebUrl))
                {
                    using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
                    {
                        SPListItem Item = web.GetListItem(ListURL + fileName);
                        Item.Delete();
                    }
                }
            });

but I need to do validations if item exists or not, I know I can iterate list items but is there any easy way of checking if item exists using URL of item.

Answer 1

Use SPWeb.GetFile followed by SPFile.Exists

SPFile file = web.GetFile(fullUrl);
if(file.Exists)
{
    ...
}

Answer 2

You can also do it this way

    try
    {
SPListItem item = web.GetListItem(itemUrl);
item.Delete()
    }
    catch(Exception ex)
    {

    }

If the url is not valid FileNotFoundException will be thrown
