Hi,
Try this!
C#:
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://serverName:XXX/"))
{
using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb)
{
SPList list = web.Lists.TryGetList("My List");
if (list != null)
{
Console.WriteLine("List exists in the site");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("List does not exist in the site");
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
POWERSHELL SCRIPT:
$siteURL="http://serverName:XXX/"
$listName="Shared Documents"
$site=Get-SPSite $siteURL
$web=$site.RootWeb
$list=$web.Lists.TryGetList($listName)
if($list -ne $null)
{
write-host -f green $listName "exists in the site"
}
else
{
write-host -f yellow $listName "does not exist in the site"
}
