Help with cause of error please

[harry]

Hi

This error appears from time to time either when my VB.NET program starts or
at some time during runtime. It is absolutely inconsistent. I change nothing
in my code and yet after I restart the program the error may or may not
appear again until some unknopwn future time. Sometimes the error doesn't
appear for days, other times it appears often in 1 day. It is very strange.

///
An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in
system.windows.forms.dll

Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an
object.
///

Public Class frmMain <<<<<< this line triggers the error
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Could someone give me a link or idea on how to trap this error so that I may
get more detailed explanation of it's cause. If the error was triggered in a
sub/function I can trap with try/catch, however how do I catch unhandled
errors in the entire class?

Thanks
Harry

Hi,

Hard to say what is causing the error without seeing your code.

It would help if you could post more code - atleast the code in your startup

Post the callstack when the error occurs.
