How to verify whether a VisualForce page exists?

How can I programatically verify whether or not a page by the name of "xyz" exists?

 

Neither the ApexPages namespace nor the PageReference object seem to provide any such method.

Reading is not my strong suit.

 

[select Id, Name from ApexPage where name = 'MyPage']

 

Works for me.

 

Keep im mind im running this query via SOQL Explorer.  I wouldnt be suprised if you couldnt instantiate an ApexPage or class within your code.  Try a count() query.

Doesn't seem to work. With...

  • ApexClass somepage = [select Id from ApexClass WHERE Name = 'SomeValidPageName'];


...I always get...

  • System.QueryException: List has no rows for assignment to SObject


...whether a page of that name exists or not.

Thanks, that did it. Now I can simply wrap the lot in a try catch statement to handle non-existing pages. Great!
