System.NullRefe renceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

2 New Member
Hi,

I'm trying to call a function written in a dll file, from ASP.NET 1.1 web application.

Part of code in global.asax:

<%@ Import namespace="WPPS YSTEMDLLLib" %>

Sub Application_OnS tart()

Dim Value As Object

Application("WP PSystem") = new WPPSystem() <-- the name of the class

Res = Application("Wp pSystem").INISt rGet("WPP", "StartPage" , "", Value, "c:\wpp.ini ", 0)

I get the following error:

System.NullRefe renceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Application("WP PSystem") is not null. It does get the instance of object.

Any idea whats wrong?

Thanks a lot,

It could possibly be an object inside your referenced dll that hasn't been initialised. Maybe there is another method which you need to call first to initialise an object, in the dll before the method you call on the line where the error occurs in your code.

you have not created a object of your WPPSystem class.

you can do it as

Dim objWPPSystem as WPPSystem

10x for your reply.
There is no other method to call before.
What I'm thinking is, one of the parameters has to be called by reference. in the dll its defined: byRef myStr.
How can I write it in the calling method? I cant just pass the parameter itself.

Did you try what dotnet said?

Yes you can just pass the parameter itself. I'm not 100% sure about the difference between ByVal and ByRef. Try Googling for them :)

did you guys figure this out? I'm having exactely the same problem calling an old C++ dll from C#, it's also a function that passes a parameter by reference. I can call all the other functions in the dll that don't pass any values by reference just fine!!!
