All i get is an error message saying NullReferenceException was unhandled the bold part is were it says the error is
The code below is used to check if the application setting, an arraylist is populated or not via the count method.
When running the program fails with error "NullReferenceException was unhandled" as initially the setting (arraylist) will contain no values.In similar circumstances I would declare a new instance of the object or set value to string.empty or check if DBNull.
I know application settings have a save method but to reference/load them one is not needed.I also left the value field in the projects -> settings to be empty.[code]...

I'm finishing up working on the high score list of my Jeopardy game. The only problem that I'm running into is when I try to start from scratch without a textfile in the Debug folder.I get a NullReferenceException was unhandled - Object reference not set to an instance of an object. I get this message with the line If (myPlayers.Length - 1) > 2 Then just before I start to compare the scores and reorder the list by score if necessary.I already declared myPlayers as an array of structures in the beginning of the form.
Private myPlayers() As Players
It writes the name and score to the file, but then gives me that error. My goal is to only fill the file with the three players names and their scores.I figured since the file doesn't exist, I'm doing something in that specific code that effects my reference to myPlayers but I can't figure out what exactly. I tried adding
If (myPlayers.Length - 1) > 2 AND File.Exists("highScore.txt") Then
but its still giving me the error.
'read in scores, add scores to file or create new file if neccessary
If File.Exists("highScore.txt") Then

For example i have form within the application which shows the connection string in a text box so the user can change it to there database but i cant work out how to save the new string to the connection string within the app.config file
View 1 RepliesI have classes that get the connection string the the .config file through ConfigurationManager. They work great in the actual application. When I use them in a unit test with nUnit I recieve an 'Object referance not set to an instance of an object'. I also tried to see if nUnit would read a ConfigurationManager.AppSetting and it failed too. Is there a configuration or workaround for this?

How do I pull the connection string from the app.config file and open a connection with it?
View 24 Replieshow to write connection string in web.config
View 1 RepliesI have a connection string (which works fine) to connect to AD through my web application in my web.config. Traditionally, however, I've created a new connection to pull info. from the user after login like so:
Using adDirectory as New DirectoryEntry("LDAP://OU=myou,DC=mydc,DC=dc,DC=com")
Dim adTicketID as String = ticket.Name
myVar = "adDirectory.Children.Find("CN=" & adTicketID).Properties("myproperty").Value
End Using
It seems that I should instead use the connection from the web.config like so:
Using ADCS as New DirectoryEntry
Dim adTicketID as String = ticket.Name
myVar = "adDirectory.Children.Find("CN=" & adTicketID).Properties("myproperty").Value
End Using
Is this possible? How would I accomplish it so that I don't need to constantly create new directoryentries?
I been working on a Printer INK Management Program for my Company. We have many different districts we deal with. Each district has a different Server.I am trying to create the application where they can place the database file anywhere they would like on the server and when they first run the application it would ask them to choose the location of where they placed the file.I would like to know how i would be able to edit the connection string information in the app.config file during run time.

I need to know what is the common way to store a SQL server connection string for an application in VB.NET.How do I read app.config values How to do it in ASP How do I store a connectionstring (unencrypted thus unsafe)It's quite frustrating not to find a decent and full answer on how to store a connection string in VB.NET in app.config (or settings.settings if it's better) safely. At the moment it's hardcoded and so it is immobile and in plain text.
View 2 RepliesI know this topic has been addressed a million times but please help me out. I have read so many articles on HOW TO encrypt and decrypt the app.config file but I need to know WHEN and WHERE I should encrypt it.
The problem arose because we found an AppName.exe.config file on a users computer and the database username and password was clearly visible. I understand that the .config file gets created during the VB app install process and is used
by the application. I then learned about the aspnet_regiis.exe tool and ran it on the app.config file inside my VB project. I am guessing that was the wrong thing to do.
When I now install the app on user desktops, it gives an error stating failed to decrypt the connection string. Also, when one of my other developers attempts to open the project in his copy of visual studio on his computer, he receives an error when trying to access the setting portion of the project properties. We store all of our projects on a file server and any developer can access the projects via a mapped drive on their computer.
So how am I supposed to encrypt the .config file. If I can't encrypt the App.config file in the development environment, then I'm guessing I have to perform the encryption on the users PC during the install process? How do I do that? Or is that what I am supposed to do?
Just for reference, here is the aspnet_regiis command I ran.
aspnet_regiis.exe -pef "connectionStrings" S:ProjectsDevelopmentVB.netPTPUSourceCodePTPU -prov "DataProtectionConfigurationProvider"
One last thing, maybe it's my misunderstanding of the issue but if this problem has existed since .Net 2.0, why has an option not been built into the development studio to encrypt connection strings?. This would seem to be a very common issue, even their own dataset wizard creates connection strings that are clearly readable.
