again strange behavior

[Maileen]

Hi,

I finished my application butonce again i have some strange behavior
with XML/text functions...

for example, here below is a function which worked perfectly till now
and now generate an error :
"An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occured
in Unknown Module.
Addition information : object reference not set to an instance of object"
when i click on break, i can not get anymore information, but if i click
on continue, my application works perfectly... :-(

this error is raised after few sw.WriteLine commands...
i have the same issue if i do :

dim doc as XMLDocument
doc = new XMLDocument (here occured error)

where could be the problem ?
from my point of view, some options in application could have such
impact but which ones ?

Hi,

I dont know why you are getting the error at the new xmldocument
line. I would use the xmltextwriter class to write the xml document instead
of a streamwriter.
