        {
            NetworkCredential credential = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");

            using (WebdavClient client = new WebdavClient(credential))
            {
                client.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://myserver/dav/");

                Console.WriteLine("documents/report.pdf exists: " + await client.Exists("documents/report.pdf"));
                Console.WriteLine("documents/ exists: " + await client.Exists("documents/"));
                Console.WriteLine("documents/missing.pdf exists: " + await client.Exists("documents/missing.pdf"));
            }
        }
    }

        Private Async Function RunAsync() As Task
            Dim credential As New NetworkCredential("username", "password")

            Using client As New WebdavClient(credential)
                client.BaseAddress = New Uri("https://myserver/dav/")

                Console.WriteLine("documents/report.pdf exists: " & Await client.Exists("documents/report.pdf"))
                Console.WriteLine("documents/ exists: " & Await client.Exists("documents/"))
                Console.WriteLine("documents/missing.pdf exists: " & Await client.Exists("documents/missing.pdf"))
