Answer 1

1) How do you define 'corrupted' file ??? It's not a nickname - something standing for this word
2) Try/catch ??

Answer 2

Hello Nora,
Welcome to MSDN Forum.
As Jasper22 said, you need first to define 'corrupted'. The most logical thing is to try to get data from the database, if that succeeds, do you regard it as not corrupted ? Or do you need to iterate over all your data to check this ? The way you do this depends on your definition of 'corrupted'.
