NullPointerException is a Java exception - you may see it in J#, but
not otherwise (as far as I know).
NullReferenceException is the normal .NET one. Basically it indicates
that you're trying to "dereference" null. For instance:
string x = null;
int i = x.Length; // Nope - the value of x is null, not a reference
// to a valid string object!
