"object reference not set to an instance of an object" error message - C# app

69 New Member
Hello all,

I'm hoping somebody can help me with this.

I have an app that I've been developing in MS Visual Studio 2005 Pro, C#. I have connectivity to a SQL server database. All of the sudden, whenever I try to add a new or change an existing data binding to a text box (as an example), it gives me the error, "object reference not set to an instance of an object".

To clarify... this error occurs when I click on the "text" or "tag" field in the data bindings properties... so I don't even get a chance to try to change it because the error pops up as soon as I click on the property.

My app still compiles and runs fine as is... I just can't change the data binding for any controls, or add any new data bindings. Does anyone know what the heck is going on?

Also... I've already done a "clean" and a recompile on the project and that didn't help. I also installed service pack 2 hoping it would help, but to no avail.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if anyone is still following this thread, but just in case, I wanted to post my solution. The problem was that my project file still contained a reference to a datasource (class) I had created and deleted. When I deleted the class after deciding not to use it, it didn't occur to me to go to the project file and delete the reference.
That solution was mentioned as a possibility above.

Hello, I'm having the same issue when I click on the bindings text property and I am getting this error on every form in the project.
I have opened up my databindings folder and walked through all datasources and all have an object in the project. Is there something else I need to do? Is there a utility that does some kind of cleanup? I have too many datasources and forms to recreate them. Thanks for any help you can give.

I'm getting intermittent "Object Invalid or No Longer Set" errors in my Access 2002 mdb. What causes these errors? Has anyone dealt with this before? I can't trace it because it's not easy to duplicate -- it just show up... I've heard that spurious queries that use Now() or Date() or some other date

This JUST started happening, I don't remember changing any code: When I click the submit button on my form, stuff is supposed to happen (which it does correctly) and a result message is posted back to the same page at the top of my form alerting the user that their request has been approved or denied. However, the end result is an error message: Error Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
