When I try to open the page from my IDE in VS 2008 using "VIEW IN BROWSER" option I get "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error.
The piece of code I get this error :
XResult = Request.QueryString["res"];
TextBox1.Text = XResult.ToString();
The problem here is that XResult is null and when you call ToString on it the code produces a NullReferenceException. You need to account for this by doing an explicit null check
TextBox1.Text = XResult == null ? String.empty : XResult.ToString();
If you are opening the page without the "res" query string then you need to include a check for null before you do anything with it.
if (Request.QueryString["res"] != null)
{
XResult = Request.QueryString["res"];
TextBox1.Text = XResult.ToString();
}
That error could be Because the REquest.QueryString method did not find a value for "res" in the url so when you try to do the "toString" to a null object whrow that exeption.
Your code is expecting a query string http://localhost:xxxx/yourapp?res=yourval. It's not present in the address supplied to the browser. In the web section of your project properties, you can supply an appropriate URL. Of course, shoring up your code to allow for this would be advisable.
XResult is already a string, so calling ToString isn't necessary. That should also fix your problem.
.ToString() is not necessary, but it will not fix your problem.
