Difference between debug and release bug?

[Guest]

Hi. I'm about to try deploying my ASP.NET application, written with the 1.1
Framework. I'm coming across something odd when compiling in Debug and
Release mode.

When compiling in Debug mode, I am able to run the application smoothly and
get things done in my application.

However, when I switch to Release mode, and try saving data back to my
database (through Remoting) the following exception is thrown:

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an
object.]
System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies.RealProxy.HandleReturnMessage(IMessage
reqMsg, IMessage retMsg) +264
System.Runtime.Remoting.Proxies.RealProxy.PrivateInvoke(MessageData&
msgData, Int32 type) +877

Why wouldn't have this been caught and thrown when I'm in Debug mode? Has
anyone come across this?

Thanks for any help.

Not neccessarily. I presume you have also switched from development to
production servers? This could have an affect. Its important to test on a
variety of platforms running under a variety of different priviledges before
you release it.
