frmCreatePurchaseOrder.sho<wbr />w()<br />
<br />
when I run it I get the following error message: -<br />
<br />
System.InvalidOperationExc<wbr />eption was unhandled<br />
&nbsp; Message=&quot;An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. &nbsp;The error is: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.&quot;<br />

System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
