Upgarding smart client application to .net 2.0

[arun.goel]

Hi All,

I have recently upgraded a smartclient application to .net 2.0. What
really baffles me is that the app works fine in debug/release mode. But
when I create a setup package or try to run the .exe the offline
application block throws an exception on the following line of code...

offlineBlockInstance = OfflineBlockBuilder.Instance;

Following is the debug trace, I know I am missing something very basic
here, but I can't figure out what, has someone else faced a similar
problem??

Thanks,
Arun

By looking at the error it is basically a null exception. Beware of your new
keyword somewhere.
