Visual Studio 2010 :: Unexplainable Null Reference Exception?
Mar 4, 2011
I have an application for working with files. It needs to work with the files one character at a time. I am using an ArrayList to store the data. Here's the code that's causing the problem:
Dim fileData As ArrayList = Nothing
Dim temp As Char = Nothing
While Not EOF(open_file_number)
I've got a little problem. I'm trying to choose a background for the program based on Settings, but I'm getting a Null Reference Exception and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Here's the
Private _PurchaseDelivery as PurchaseDelivery Protected Overrides Sub InsertItem(ByVal index As Integer, ByVal item As PurchaseDeliveryItem)
[Code]....
Which is inside a class which overrides a custom list base. The code is occassionaly throwing an unhandled exception, System.NullReferenceException, on this line when used in production:
If _PurchaseDelivery IsNot Nothing AndAlso _PurchaseDelivery.DefaultSKUBinID.HasValue Then
DeafultSKUBinID is declared as an Integer? (Nullable Int) in the PurchaseDelivery class. I cannot see what might be causing this error, why would this be returning an error?
Installed DirectX11 June 10 SDK on Win7 machine with VS2010 Ultimate. Project written in Visual Basic, targeting .net 2.0. Just need the directx audio player capability.
Tried to add reference to the SDK Developer Runtime Files.
Nothing from DirectX11 shows up in the add reference COM for the project.
I can't seem to make my project see or accept the DirectX11 .dll's.
Unclear of which one I need other than maybe XAudio2 (I think) to play a .wav file.
DirectX11 SDK Release Notes say's the following but I don't understand it.
I'm testing my Visual Basic .net application by running it in Visual Studio express.Sometimes it runs OK, but other times I get an exception (details below, if useful). I'm not sure why I get the exception as the particular part of the application that I am testing re-uses code that works OK for other features.
What should I check, what would give me a hint as to the root cause. Things I tried so far are: Rewriting some of the code to be more robust. The outcome of this was that this approach was getting out of control - I was correcting everything. I made changes such asing alternative libraries (e.g. replacing CInt with convertTo etc). Some lazy declarations, but it occurred to me that there was no problem with these with the code before my changes. And every change I seemed to solve uncovered yet another problem, another different exception So I thought something must be fundamentally wrong with my installation, and a search found discussion group posts from people experiencing something similar. The suggested remedy would be to re-install the .net framework. So I did that and the problems still occured.
Any thoughts on approach to get to the root of the problem? I'm not asking for a solution but some fresh ideas would be very welcome.
We have upgraded our project from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2010 without any issues until now. Our project contains a folder call Libraries which contains different versions of Oracle ODP.NET DLL's as well as different versions of Telerik DLL's. Our project contains references to one of the versions of each. The problem is once we remove the reference and re-add it by browsing to the new version, again inside the Libraries folder inside the project, it adds the reference, but to the same version we just removed. We can even copy the DLL to our desktop, remove the reference and add to the new one on our desktop and it still will point to the Libraries folder version???. The only we we can actual change the reference to the new DLL is by manually changing the path in the .vbproj file, which is obviously not going to work for us. The same behaviour worked perfectly in VS 2008. We switch our references quite often, when new versions come out, but also far more often to QA different versions of ODP.NET and Telerik Control DLL's, so manually editing the .vbproj file is becoming quickly cumbersome. If I browse to a specific version at a specific path, Visual Studio should ALWAYS do what I'm telling it to do..
I did some seaching and came across a few other people with the same issue. This better not be as designed and if it's a bug, which I believe it to be, when will it be fixed?[URL]..
visual basic application prompting me a message "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". i have 2 project in one solution. One is developed in c# and other is in vb. i am calling a method of c# project in vb project. the vb code is:[code]when i debug vb project individually it works properly and when i call vb application from c# application, it prompting error. is i missed out any .net framework reference? [code]
My site has been running fine for sometime now until recently I see in the event viewer a null reference exception in the DNN core:
DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.GetStatus() in
F:BuildsMaintenanceWorkingDirectoryLibraryCommonGlobals.vb:line 1125 at DotNetNuke.Common.Initialize.InitializeApp(HttpApplication app) in
[code]....
the line 1125 is:
_Status = UpgradeStatus.None
Which is a property of the Globals class and an Enum Also when this happens it doesnt just do it once then sort its self it does it roughly every minute for an hour or so.I made sure all dataprovider.instances are either in a using or a try catch finally or self closing(if the reader is not used)?
I have the following code, which is meant to loop through a list of CheckBoxes and if checked if gets the text contained in the linked textbox through the tag of the Checkbox, i have used it before and it worked fine but this time i am getting the following error:
Null Reference Exception was unhandled
Dim DisCheckBox As CheckBox() = {chk0_6, chk6_12, chk12_18, chk18_24, chk2_3, chk3_4, chk4_5, chkXSB, chkSB, chkMB, chkLB, chkXLB, chkS, chkM, chkL, chkXL, chkXXL, chkXXXL, chkXXXXL, chkW8, chkW10, chkW12, chkW14, chkW16, chkW18, chkW20} For Each Chk In DisCheckBox
I keep getting a null reference exception w/this program, and its on the line that declares the array. I've looked it over and over and I just don't see why... Can you let me know if you see anything obvious? I'm also getting an "index out of range" exception, but it looks right to me...I declared everything with an 11 for 12 months, 0 to 11 for the intcount.
If Not obj is Nothing and obj.IsActive Then ' null reference exception??constructions like this in C# works, because obj.IsActive is not checked if the first condition is false...
i have this sql transaction i am using to make sales.But when ever i run the code it give me this null reference exception.I do not really know what is wrong.
Now, when I try to debug my program, it immediately throws the exception below, this is before entering the program itself if I understand correctly. Any advice on how to resolve this? Between now and the last time I tried running debug, I had tried making a section of the program MDI, but gave up on that and delete that code. Also none of that part of the program is even in a position to be ran (the initial interface and onward do not execute that code)
started learning vb.net..encountered this problem in this code: Private Sub NavigateRecords()
TextBox1.Text = ds.Tables("stdDataSet").Rows(inc).Item(0)-error msg appeared here sayin null reference evception was unhandled. Object reference not set to an instance of an object. TextBox2.Text = ds.Tables("stdDataSet").Rows(inc).Item(1) TextBox3.Text = ds.Tables("stdDataSet").Rows(inc).Item(2) TextBox4.Text = ds.Tables("stdDataSet").Rows(inc).Item(3)
I'm using vb.net and sql server 2000 for developing my application....The problem i'm having is the Null Reference Exception on the Following line of code:
Dim cmd5 As New SqlCommand("select crtns_removed, pieces_removed, scheme from Outgoing_Invoice where invoice_no = '" & Me.ComboBox5.SelectedItem.ToString.Trim & "' And category = '" & Me.ComboBox1.SelectedItem.ToString.Trim & "' and item_name = '" &
I get a warning message that reads " Variable 'cust' is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at run time.", but it occurs in my vb file "Northwind.vb with the following code:

Been looking at a lot of post/articles about using Iif(). All of this started when I tried to use IIf() like a conditional operator much in the likes of C/C#/C++ etc.What I tried to do exactly was exactly in the lines of this of the following post:Using VB.NET IIF I get NullReferenceException
However, the solution I had implemented was borrowed from the following msdn site:
I'm having some trouble with breakpoints. I'm trying to debug a null reference exception. However if I set a breakpoint right before the null exception normally occurs, the null exception stops occuring. Here is a (very) simplified code snippet to give an example of my code.
[Code]....
In my real project, the line that calls DoSomething will throw a null reference trying to access MyChild. However if I put a breakpoint at that line, MyChild exists, and the call goes through without a problem. In the past, this was usually sign of a race condition in my code. In this scenario however, there are no other threads that modify MyList or any MyParent objects. What could possibly occur when visual studio breaks into code that preserves MyChild object that does not occur when no breakpoint exist?

i have the following code but when i select button1 i get the following error: Null Reference Exception was unhandled-object reference not set to an instance of an object. - any idea's how to fix it ?i have underlined the line of code that is highlighted when the error occurs
Imports System.Data Public Class Form1 Dim Ping As Net.NetworkInformation.Ping
Dim sizings = From a In db.Sizings Where a.Customer.ID = customer.ID Select a If sizings.Any Then .....
The sizings.Any line is throwing a null reference exception. I thought I was meant to use .Any to determine if there were any rows returned?isnothing(sizings) returns false.
Edit - Resolution:Don't use null objects in the LINQ Query!
I am trying to use a built-in interface in the Adobe3DReviewer in my code. I need to use a method of the interface so I am trying to create an object. However, when I try to use the object to access the method I get this error:
System.NullReferenceException was unhandled.Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Here is my code snippet:
Module Module1 Sub Main() Dim attVal As New Object
i develop the following code in vs2005, now i just using this module in my new project @ vs 2008..But this error was araised. I cant able to fix this problem...
