session variable / datetime
Posted on 2011-03-09
c sharp .net
have a couple of Session Variables:
protected void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Session.Add("serverTimeAdj
Session.Add("todaysDateTim
}
When I want to retieve this variable elsewhere in the web app, I use the following:
DateTime reportingDateTime = (DateTime)Session["todaysD
Compiling is fine - but the debugger is then complaining when running ... and the following error on the above line:
'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'

That would suggest that you are trying to read the session value at some point before it has been set. You should do a sanity check before trying to access it:
if (Session["todaysDateTimeServerAdjusted"] != null)
{
DateTime reportingDateTime = (DateTime)Session["todaysDateTimeServerAdjusted"];
}
else
{
// some sort of default
}
