can't access: System.Web.Http Context.Current .Cache

[xzzy]

A. I need to access: System.Web.Http Context.Current .Cache

but get this error:

"Object reference not set to an instance of the object"

B. System.Web.Http Context.Current .Cache is accessible outside of this
class.

I have listed the code below and the offending line of code is delimited by

//The next line breaks: "Object reference not set to an instance of
the object"

Thank you,

John Bickmore

thank you for your reply.

BTW "The 5 Stages Of Mocking" is great! My wife is Canadian, knows
everything about medicine and nothing about software, laughed too. She
wants to know if you sell t-shirts.
