getting 'Object reference not set to an instance' some times

[Binoy]

Hello,

I am getting this error once in a while from my web
sites. When I will refresh web browser, it goes off and
sites are working fine.

Directory structures and file names are as below-

C:\WWW - corporate site, C:\WWW\default.aspx is the
default page and this site works fine.
C:\Content\www is a virtual directory(/content) on the
site from where all ASPX files (other than default.aspx)
are referenced. All other files in \WWW are ASP pages. So
\WWW has a \bin directory, which has all ASPX Dlls.

C:\Content\div1.aspx
C:\Content\div2.aspx
C:\Content\div3.aspx
C:\Content\div4.aspx
........ are our divisional site home pages [with
different divisional site IPs]. \content is also a virtul
directory (\content\www) for all divisional sites, so we
have bin directory copied in \content and \content\www as
well.

Error description-
[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an
instance of an object.]
Admin.Global.Application_Start(Object sender,
EventArgs e) +347

Anybody has any idea of what is happening?

Thanks in advance - Binoy

I would start by looking at "Admin.Global.Application_Start(Object sender,
EventArgs e)" - Line 347

Could you post that?

Kevin,

Really Global.asax.vb has only 142 lines.

Well, the number of lines in your Application+Start method should be even
smaller. What development environment are you using?

Hi Binoy,

I can tell you a couple of things for certain. The error is occurring in
your Application_Start Event handler. The resson refreshing the browser
makes the error go away is that the Application_Start method only fires when
the Application starts, which would happen rarely, and certainly NOT after a
page is refreshed. So, the intermittent part is that the Application_Start
method is only fired intermittently.

The error message indicates that there is a reference to an object in that
method, an object which has not been instantiated in any way. If you post
your Application_Start code I can take a wild guess as to the line that
threw the exception.
