Hello All,
Is their any method or property which returns True/False... if the Product
exists in the catalog.
I get an Product ID from an external system and I have to search it in the
Database before creating or updating it.
Kindly let me know.. ASAP

You can do a search using the CatalogManager.Search method
(
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...-us/csvr2002/ht
m/cs_rp_catalogmanager_net_jjar.asp).
Set the strSQLClause to "ProductId=N'YourProductId'"

If the returned recordset does not contain any records then the product
does not exist
Alternatively you  can do something like

Dim oCatalogManager
Set oCatalogManager =CreateObject("Commerce.CatalogManager")
oCatalogManager.Initialize siteName, false
Set oProductCatalog = oCatalogManager.GetCatalog("catalogname")
Set oProduct = oProductCatalog.GetProduct("ProductId")
Dim oProductProperties
if oProduct  IS Nothing
listPrice = 3.0
Set oProductProperties =
oProductCatalog.CreateProduct("Definitionname", "produductid", listPrice)
Else
Set oProductProperties = oProduct.GetProductProperties()
End if
' Update properties in the oProductProperties recordset and if you want to
save the properties call
oProduct.SetProductProperties()
