SharePoint folder.exist

You are accessing myweb which is out of scope ny the time you are accessing it.

using (SPWeb myWeb = mySite.OpenWeb())
            {                
               bool folderExist = CheckFolderExists(myWeb, caseFolder);


             }

My apologies.  I copied and pasted wrong.  It's actually

using (SPSite mySite = new SPSite("http://landis/"))
        {
            using (SPWeb myWeb = mySite.OpenWeb())
            {                
string caseFolder = txtCaseNumber.Text.ToString();
.
.
bool folderExist = CheckFolderExists(myWeb, caseFolder);

 if (folderExist)
                        {
                            msg.Text += "Folder Exist<br />";
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            msg.Text += "None<br />";
                        }


private bool CheckFolderExists(SPWeb wb, string fldr)
    {
        try
        {
            SPFolder folder = wb.GetFolder(fldr);
            if (!folder.Exists)
            {
                msg.Text += "NO FOLDER<br />";
                return false;
            }
            else
            {
                msg.Text += "FOLDER EXISTS<br />";
                return folder.Exists;
            }
        }
        catch
        {
            return false;
        }
    }
             }
         }

I read that and a few other blog posts before coming to EE and they did not really help.

THanks

so if you return false instead of return folder.Exists you may have more success.
