How to check whether a channel exists

[Mukherjee]

Hello,

    I want to programatically check whether a particular channel already exists in the data portal before I create a new channel. How can this be achieved?

With warm regards,

Hello Saurav!

Just use CNo like this:

If CNo("MyChannel") = 0 Then
  ' Create the channel
End If

or if you want to know if the channel exist in a defined group

If CNo("MyGroup/MyChannel") = 0 Then
  ' Create the channel
End If
