Add on: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

This message only appears when each user first installs the add on or every time the add on is started manually. If it is automatically started it does not happen. It does not happen in debug mode either.
The add-on still runs and works normally after the message is responded to (but the same message may appear between 2 to 7 times before you can clear it).
I'd appreciate any help - I'm completely baffled.
I'm using Visual Studio 2003 and used the B1DE install wizard to create the installer package and the .ard file. I am also using the DI & use the single-sign on procedure to connect to the application.

THANKS!!

John,
Although I do not remember this being an issue, you are on an older Patch Level for Business One 2005A. The latest patch level for Business One 2005A, if you are not on 2005A SP01, is Patch Level 11. You may want to download this and make sure that you uninstall and re-install the updated DI API on the workstation.
HTH,

"cacheHostInfo is null" and Add-SPDistributedCacheServiceInstance : Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I am working on a standalone install Sharepoint 2013 (no Active Directory). I found newsfeed feature is not available and checked Distributed Cache service is stopped. When start it “cacheHostInfo is null” is returned.
I checked the Windows service “AppFabric caching service” is stopped because the default identity “Network Service” not work. Then I change the AppFabric service identity to use “.\administrator” (which is also the sp farm administrator) and the service can
be started.
However the “cacheHostInfo is null” when try to start Distributed Cache service in central admin.
I searched on web and found this blog: http://rakatechblog.wordpress.com/2013/02/04/sharepoint-2013-spdistributedcacheserviceinstance-cachehostinfo-is-null/
I tried to run the script but it return error:

Can you deploy Active Directory as installing without is not a supported installation scenario - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2764086.

Object Reference Not Set To An Instance Of An Object - Outlook Add-In - Add-In Express

Hi,
My Add-In has been developed in VS2010 using the Add-In Express pack.
Its a very simple add-in that shows an IT support ticket email detailing PC information. To use it, following installing the add-in, the user must select the tab in outlook and click on the Send IT Support Email button which will generate an Outlook Email
Template with specific information about the PC that I pull using VB.
It works fine in Windows 7 & 8, but throws an 'Object Reference Not Set To An Instance Of An Object' exception in Windows XP. Screenshot is shown below:

Hi,
Welcome to MSDN forum.
I am afraid that the issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
and Visual Studio Editor.
Because your Add-in is developed using Add-in Express which is third-party, I suggest consulting Add-in Express forum:
http://www.add-in-express.com/forum/index.php for better support.
Best regards,
We are trying to better understand customer views on social support experience, so your participation in this interview project would be greatly appreciated if you have time. Thanks for helping make community forums a great place.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Unable to finish the SQL 2012 installation on a VM Machine

Hi, My name is Leonard and I am studying SQL. I have downloaded the newest MS SQL 2012 and also MS 2012 Hyper-V. I have set a MS 2012 Hyper-V on a laptop with AMD Turion 64 X2 and 3G of RAM (Planing
to add more to max at 8G).
Following the instructions in the free online
Administering Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Databases” Training Kit, I have set 6 virtual machines as instructed in the Training Kit. While the installation of the MS Server Core 2008 R2 SP1 completed with no
problem, the same cannot be said for the SQL Server 2012 installation. I have encountered an error that I have not seen anyone address in any of the SQL web forums.
After running the unattended setup instruction (Setup.exe /qs /ACTION=Install /FEATURES=SQLEngine /INSTANCENAME=MSSQLSERVER
/SQLSVCACCOUNT="Njowa\Pa$$worD>" /SQLSVCPASSWORD=" Pa$$worD” /SQLSYSADMINACCOUNTS="Njowa\lenny#4!@" /AGTSVCACCOUNT="NT AUTHORITY\Network Service"
/IACCEPTSQLSERVERLICENSETERMS) this is what I get after a series SQL setup
initiation windows popups then disappears.
The following error occurred:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Error result: -2147467261
Result facility Code: 0
Result error Code: 16387
Please review the summary.txt log for further details
My question is: What instance of an object is not properly initialize in the Setup instructions

Hello,
Please note that SQL Server requires at least 1 GB of RAM. The operating system (Windows Server) requires 2 GB of RAM (recommended) or 512 MB (minimum). This means any virtual machine that will receive the installation of a SQL Server instance requires 1.5
or 2 GB at least.
The behavior of SQL Server setup tells me that the virtual machine does not have enough memory assigned or .NET Framework 3.5 was not enable on Control Panel->Program
and Features before trying to install SQL Server.
The following thread is about another possible cause of this error:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/mr-IN/sqlsetupandupgrade/thread/575d3025-69f5-4152-a473-44496b008811

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when using Sheel Shah's example

I am attempting to use a custom add dialog as in http://blogs.msdn.com/b/lightswitch/archive/2011/07/07/creating-a-custom-add-or-edit-dialog.aspx and
I get the error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." when clicking my button to AddEntity(). My code to call the control is:
User u = new User();
userdialoghelper.AddEntity(u);
Any ideas as to why I'm getting this error? I "think" that I've set up the class properly?

I may be a couple of years late to the party here (using VS2013) but I also had some issues adapting to Yann's improvements over Sheel's code.
Sheel's screen code as provided has the word "Old in the InitializeDataWorkspace and the created methods. this does not work when copy/pasted. ALso removed the "UI" from "InitialiseUI()"

features containing webparts must be site scoped, so you must get spweb as bellow:
SPSite spSite = properties.Feature.Parent as SPSite;
SPWeb spWeb = spSite.RootWeb;

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object" on stored proc.

So, I use VS 2005 with Oracle 11 rel. 11.1.06.0.
I installed ODP for .net (ODAC 11.10621).
but, when I call some stored proc wich was working previously, when calling stored proc:
oProcAppendWebFolder2.Parameters("p_siteid").Value = vSiteID
oProcAppendWebFolder2.Parameters("p_webfoldername").Value = vWebFolderName
oProcAppendWebFolder2.Parameters("p_includestartpage").Value = IIf(vIncludeStartPage, "Y", "N")
oProcAppendWebFolder2.ExecuteNonQuery()
I often got message:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object. (I got this message when calling ExecuteNonQuery)
proc is simple:
FUNCTION AppendWebFolder(p_SiteID IN NUMBER, p_WebFolderName IN VARCHAR2, p_includeStartPage IN char) RETURN NUMBER AS
v_errcode               PLS_INTEGER :=0;

If it is a web application, I would suggest using HTTP sessions to store the ReportDocument object.
See this KB for reference code on how to use session.

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object." in Visual Studio 2012 Entity Framework Model-First

Hello
We're trying to use a Model-First with Entity Framework in Visual Studio, targeting an Oracle XE 11g installation.
No matter from what angle we're approaching the issue, we always end up with an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" in Visual Studio:
First way:
- Add new ADO.NET Entity Framework Model to a .NET Framework 4.5 project
- Empty model
- Add some entities and associations
- Set Database Generation Workflow to "Generate Oracle Via T4 (TPT).xaml"
- Set DDL Generation Template to "SSDLToOracle.tt"
- Generate Database From Model
- VS asks for DB connection ==> Click "New Connection"
- Enter the connection properties to the Oracle XE database. "Test Connection" tells me the connection is okay.
- Click OK. Visual Studio shows the following error message:
(here's the image if it's not visible: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35614983/vs2012_oracle_ef_error.png)
We also tried to generate the model in VS2010 and then manually transform it to an EF5 / VS2012 model. At the "Generate Database from Model" step, the same error appeared.
We also tried to generate the model from database (Database-First approach). Same error.
My configuration:
- Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
- Installed Oracle client: ODTwithODAC1120320_32bit.zip, so the version is 11.2.0.3.20
- Visual Studio 2012 Update 3 (11.0.60610.01)
Thanks for any hints!
EDIT: I just read that ODP.NET doesn't seem to support Entity Framework 5, so I tried a new project with Entity Framework 4.1, but I get the same errors.
EDIT 2: On a 32-bit Windows 7 virtual machine, everything works fine. Seems the problem is only there on my 64-bit Windows 7 machine.

Sorry for the delay on this one. Let me know if you are still seeing this and I will see if we can get more diagnostic info somehow.
That error is basically an exception fault. It means a bug or a misconfiguration of Oracle Developer Tools. Can you try to reinstall ODT and see if you notice any unusual errors during install.. and see if a reinstall fixes the problem?

WFA 3.1RC1 throws "Object reference not set to an instance of an object", worked in 3.0P1

I am running a custom workflow to create volumes that has worked since WFA 2.x, and which works well in 3.0P1. With WFA 3.1RC1 it throws this error when attempting to apply a quota to the volume: INFO [Apply Quota Policy to Volume or Qtree] Started Quota resize on volume post_wfa31rc1_test2_w_mirror on vserver MySVM ERROR [Apply Quota Policy to Volume or Qtree] Command failed for Workflow 'Create Volume (Schwab)' with error : Object reference not set to an instance of an object. INFO [Apply Quota Policy to Volume or Qtree] ***** Workflow Execution Failed ***** I have executed the PS commands from this code block in a PS shell with no errors. Has anyone else seen a similar issue with 3.1RC1? Scott Lindley

I have narrowed the problem down to a single command and can reproduce the problem very easily. However, I can't seem to fix it. But I believe importing this single custom command into both a WFA 3.0P1 and WFA 3.1RC1 system will easily show that it works in 3.0P1 and throws the odd 'Object reference not set to an insance of an object' error. I say that is an odd error because I'm only used to seeing that error at Preview time referring to an object reference in a Command Parameter field of a workflow. I know how to deal with that issue. However here, the error appears at the end a PowerShell command. Actually, the PowerShell command appears to me to execute entirely and correctly. It is just that at the end of running this exception error is thrown and that causes the command (and workflow if running within a workflow) to fail. But the comamnd correctly adds the 'default' quota policy to the volume and even enables quota resize as it should. So it works, but still blows up the workflow it is within. I'm going to attempt to attach these three things here: 1) screenshot showing the command running (with Command Test Button) fine under WFA-3.0P1, 2) a screenshot showing the command running but throwing the error on a WFA-3.1RC1 system 3) the ,dar file holding just the command: "Apply Quota Policy to Volume or Qtree" (I added .txt to the end of .dar file name) ------1) running OKay on 3.0P1 -------------------------- 2) running with the ERROR on WFA 3.1RC1 SOME NOTES: My lab environment where I re-created the problem: The WFA 3.0P1 system is a Windows 2008R2 server that happens to have the original PowerShell 2.0 on it The WFA 3.1RC1 system is a Windows 7 system that I have updated PowerShell to 4.0. The customer environment: I'm less certain of details (maybe Scott can fill in) The version of PowerShell is TBD (guessing 2.0) , but they are running the same PS version for both 3.0P1 and 3.1RC1 because they are upgrading/downgrading WFA on the same system

"An error has occurred:Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

This error message comes up with a user in InfoView. The user schedules a report, updates parameters, and the report kicks off successfully. But then a few minutes later, this error is received. This occurs sporadically, regardless of the length of time of report or amount of data being retrieved. Sometimes the report runs to completion. Other times this error message occurs.
Has anyone seen this before and have any thoughts?
Thank you.
“An error has occurred:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.”

Are you able to replicate the issue both in Java and .NET InfoView?
For .NET InfoView, sometimes the "An error has occurred: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error shows up after the .NET Framework is upgraded to 2.0

"object reference not set to an instance of an object" error while running ssrs report locally

Hi Folks,
I am a bit new to SSRS.
I am using ssrs 2012 and trying to use a method from a dll file. I am loaded the assembly file in reference of the report.
Now I am trying to use a static method from the Dll. e.g. applicationName.classname.MethodName()
But while running the report I am getting "object reference not set to an instance of an object" error.
For a note I am trying execute the report locally.
Any help would be highly appreciable.

Sorry for late reply Sinaloe..
I have added a dll file in my report reference. And in a textbox trying to execute this below.
=Recall.Common.LocalizationEx.Localization.GetString(Parameters!Culture.Value, "RFID", "BICustomerPortal")
where Getstring() is a static method in the dll.
I guess some configuration setting I am missing here.
1. I have copied these dlls in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies" and "C:\Windows\Assembly".

Thanks for the suggestion Deepu. I looked at the available downloads and saw there was a SP13 available, so I downloaded that and will try this on Monday May 21st.
I will also check the .NET 1.1 framwork and hotfixes.
