Hello,

I'm getting an error in this code.

''' Begin code
Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Application("ConnString") = "myString"
End Sub

Public Class Main

Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Dim myConnection As SqlConnection = New
SqlConnection(Application("ConnString")) '<-- "Object reference not set to
an instance of an object"

...

End Class
''' End code

Not sure why I'm getting this error. Any help is very much appreciated.

Andrew

I think I figured this out. I was creating and initializing the variable in
one line of code. C# is fine with this but it seems vb.net didn't care for
it. I moved the init code to the Page_Load() event and it works ok now.

Just in case anyone else runs into that.

Andrew
