Check Whether SharePoint Group Exists

[Fao, Sean]

I was wondering if there was any way to programmatically determine
whether or not a group exists in SharePoint. I checked the
SPGroupCollection in the SPWeb.SiteGroups property and didn't see any
methods for doing lookups. I could obviously write my own code that
loops through each group, but I was wondering if there was an
easier/cleaner way to accomplish this task.

Thank you in advance,

Thank you in advance,

what about loop?

foreach(SPGroup spGroup in spWeb.SiteGroups)
{
....
}
