0	this error appears when you access an object without initiate it. (it si still reference to null) Example: public class User0 { public int ID; public static User LoadUser(int id) { User user =null; User.ID = id; //<==== Here the error mentioned above appears. // To resolve the error, yu should replace the above 2 lines by the following User user = new User(); User.ID = id; } } Thanks, Leila Sanmukhait.Btech, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

Example:
public class User0
{
public int ID;

public static User LoadUser(int id)
{
User user =null;
User.ID = id; //<==== Here the error mentioned above appears.
// To resolve the error, yu should replace the above 2 lines by the following
User user = new User();
User.ID = id;
}

}

Thanks,

0	1 - You never assigned anything to the variable. 2 - You never created an instance of the value assigned to the variable. 3 - You set the variable equal to Nothing, or a called function did the same thing. ------------------------------------------------ Learn throughout life Sanmukhait.Btech, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	This error will occur in several circumstances. When you create an object and that object has not been created this error willcome. you create collections like list,hashtable etc and you are trying to access an unassigned key from that or if you are trying to access an operation like counting the hastable entry then this error will come. Mainly it comes due to the problem that you have not assigned a value to the object that you have created. ____________ www.flickr.com/photos/psdesigner/ Sanmukhait.Btech, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
