I am writing an ASP.NET application. I am using a data reader object the way the code flows is that sometimes it gets instantiated and sometimes it doesnt. This is causing some issues because I am using a data reader multiple times in a subroutine so I have to close it before I can create a new one. However if it skips over the code that instantiates it when it hits the code to check if its open:<br />
If Not dReader.IsClosed Then<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; dReader.Close()<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; End If<br />
<br />
I am getting an error. System.NullReferenceExcept<wbr />ion: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Does anyone know how to check if this object has been instantiated already?<br />

Datareader error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

Web applications are systems that run in browsers that perform functions normally associated with other client-based programs. One of the most commonly used web applications is email; instead of downloading individual emails to a local machine, the data is shown through a website. Other examples of web applications are collaborative systems like a wiki or an online game.

Web Applications

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications
