ASP.NET "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error..

[snester]

Hi,

I am using visual studio 2005 and recently created a new web service project. I seem to have edited the global config file (inadvertently) somewhere along the line.

All new projects I have created since the above web service project have generated two errors while debugging. The first error, I believe I have fixed but I cannot fix the second error. I mention the first error below incase it is the cause of the second error..

1) The initial error I received was:

No http handler was found for request type 'GET'

I fixed this by adding the following to the machine.config file:
<httpHandlers >
<add verb="*" path="*.aspx" type="System.We b.UI.PageHandle rFactory"/>
</httpHandlers>

2) Now the second error which I cannot work out is:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Can anyone help?

Many thanks!

HI Snester,

This error is caused my reference to namespaces, check that out.

Thank you, found the problem..

I was on the right track but didn't quite get it.. the error was caused within the web.config file located in the Microsoft.NET\F ramework\v2.0.5 0727\CONFIG\ folder. It seems somehow I managed to save over this web.config file with my web services project web.config file.
I think it is due to the handy feature in Visual Studio which allows the opening of external files into a new tab, on the same screen as a project. Opps.
