Hi,
Very new to asp.net. Using VStudio 2005 on an XP Pro machine. Using Cassini
to view.
I see this error discussed all over the net but don't seem to find a way to
resolve my particular grief -- which I am sure is not unique. Here are my
basic steps:
1) create a masterpage -- add some simple graphics to the header.
2) add a new web form that references the master page and attaches a code
behind file. (actually added 3 files referencing the same mpage -- each
errors)
3) add some basic html into the placeholder auto-created in the web form
page, ie:
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1"
Runat="Server">
</asp:Content>
4) view the page and it all views okay.
But when I look at the page in design mode -- the Content placeholder shows
this error -- and it is referenced in the error list as well.
================
Error creating control - Content1
object reference not set to an instance of an object
================
Can anyone give me a heads up as to what this error means, how to get rid of
it, etc. I am guessing that it wants me to declare an object -- but where
(assuming codebehind file) and I am wondering why vstudio doesn't auto do
it? - which makes me think my guess is wrong.
thanks
