Something like this should work:

        protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Response.Write(IsLinkValid(new Uri("http://www.asp.net")));
            Response.Write("<br />");
            Response.Write(IsLinkValid(new Uri("http://www.asp.net/ThisDoesNotExist")));
            Response.Write("<br />");
        }

        private Boolean IsLinkValid(Uri uri)
        {
            try
            {
                WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(uri);
                request.Method = "HEAD";
                WebResponse r = request.GetResponse();
                return true;
            }
            catch (WebException)
            {
                return false;
            }
        }
