another Object reference not set to an instance of an object. prob

[Dubh]

I'm a beginner with .NET so this is probably a very simple problem that will
be immediately obvious to someone hopefully. I'm using J#.NET

The following contains the code caused the error

Line 385: String link = "http://10.4.190.120/config/lconfig.aspx" ;
Line 386: GtLink.Redirect (link);
Line 387: //NLine.set_Text( Selection);

STACK TRACE

[NullReferenceEx ception: Object reference not set to an instance of an

had the same error trying to get the server variables from the client but I
gave up on it eventually as I was able to work without the Host name though
it would add an extra element of security that I am looking for.

Thanks in adv for any help.

Is GtLink a type or an object reference? That is, does the line

GtLink.Redirect (link)

mean 'call the static Redirect method defined by the GtLink class', or
does it mean 'call the Redirect method on the object referenced by the
GtLink variable'.

If it is the latter, the GtLink variable is probably not initialized,
otherwise we need a bit more info.

GtLink is defined here:

protected System.Web.Http Response GtLink;

Does that help?

Do you ever assign the GtLink variable to anything?

I suspect you don't.

Is it not assigned to the System.Web.Http Response object ? Does it have to be
initialized first?

System.Web.Http Response is a type, not an object. You have to set the
variable's value in order for it to become non-null, yes.

Excuse my ignorance regarding terminology. I'm finding it a bit difficult
with the J#.NET stuff as it doesn't have as many examples or even
documentation as VB.NET or C*.NET. Could you give me a very quick example of
what I should be putting in.

Currently I am using the following lines

protected System.Web.Http Response GtLink;

String link = "http://10.4.190.120/config/lconfig.aspx" ;
GtLink.Redirect (link);

Couldn't I have just as easily used

protected System.Web.Http Response GtLink;
GtLink.Redirect ("http://10.4.190.120/config/lconfig.aspx");

and still get the same error. What do I need to make GtLink non-null?
Also could this be why I was getting the same error when trying to get the
server variables using HttpRequest.get _UserHostAddres s(). Should I be
initializing something there as well?

Thanks again for all your help.

Indeed - although the problem is absolutely the same in any of the
languages.

I'm not an ASP.NET expect, but I'm sure there's the Response property
of some kind of context that you have access to.
Currently I am using the following lines

protected System.Web.Http Response GtLink;

String link = "http://10.4.190.120/config/lconfig.aspx" ;
GtLink.Redirect (link);

Couldn't I have just as easily used

protected System.Web.Http Response GtLink;
GtLink.Redirect ("http://10.4.190.120/config/lconfig.aspx");

and still get the same error. What do I need to make GtLink non-null?
Because you're trying to call an instance method on it. As it is, the
runtime is basically saying "I don't know which response I'm trying to
redirect."
Also could this be why I was getting the same error when trying to get the
server variables using HttpRequest.get _UserHostAddres s(). Should I be
initializing something there as well?

Yes - otherwise it doesn't know which request you're talking about.

Jon,

thanks for your help though to be honest I'm none the wiser if not even more
confused. I think I'll just start at the beginning with the JScript language
tour and slowly work my way back to where I'm stuck. I studied Basic and
Cobol but that was years ago and am only doing this to set up a netware
systems monitoring and admin website at work.

I'm not an ASP.NET expect, but I'm sure there's the Response property
of some kind of context that you have access to.
No idea what you mean by this! I have a drop-down list of a grouping of
servers and depending on what was selected I want to redirect the user to
administer or reconfigure it on a separate page. I don't want to use a
hyperlink as I need to send extra info so I'm using a standard button and
calling the code on the OnClick event.

main code ...

protected System.Web.Http Response GtLink;

.....more code

private void Update_Click (Object sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
............... ..some code
String link = "http://10.4.190.120/config/lconfig.aspx" ;
GtLink.Redirect (link);
............... ...some code
}

Take the following code as an example of an area with no issue.

main code ....
protected System.Web.UI.W ebControls.Text Box NLine;

.....more code

Selection = DDList1.get_Sel ectedItem().get _Text(); //Get Line to be
configured DD
NLine.set_Text( Selection);

My textbox shows the item selected form the DDlist, yet I didn't do anything
to pre-initialize NLine. I expected that the same would apply to GtLink??
Because you're trying to call an instance method on it. As it is, the
runtime is basically saying "I don't know which response I'm trying to
redirect."

I assumed that what I was telling it to do was If this button is clicked
then this and that and open the following web page. Obviously it is not that
simple.

Also could this be why I was getting the same error when trying to get the
server variables using HttpRequest.get _UserHostAddres s(). Should I be
initializing something there as well?

Yes - otherwise it doesn't know which request you're talking about.

Dubh,

Here the samples of use of the response.redire ct on msdn

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...irecttopic.asp

Seems for me simple to solve your problem with that

I hope this helps?
