[mapserver-users] Object reference not set to an instance of an object

[Suman Chatterjee]

Hi Pano,

Thank you very much. It worked. Yes, it was the thing I wanted to do.
Now I understand the meaning of the ConfigurationManager.

 

Thank You once again.

Suman

Hi Suman,

Check your web.config file- You probably have an entry similar to:

<appSettings>

        <add key="mapfile"
value="C:\ms4w\Apache\htdocs\...addison.map"/>

...

 

In your code you want to create the mapfile object by reading the
mapfile path from web.config. So what you need to do is:

 

mapObj map= new
mapObj(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["mapfile"].
toString())

(or whatever the variable in the web.config is called)

 

You don't really want to use a constant to point to the mapfile...

 

Pano

Hi,

I corrected my problem. Actually, I changed the code a little bit. 

 

Const string MAP_FILE = "c:/inetpub/wwwroot/Addison.map"

Map= new mapObj(MAP_FILE)

 

The line
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["C:/ms4w/Apache/ht
docs/mapservertest/Addison.map"]  

 Is throwing error. No idea what it is trying to do.

 

Now my application is working fine in IIS and C#.

Hi Suman,

I suspect
System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["C:/ms4w/Apache/ht
docs/mapservertest/Addison.map"]  evaluates to null in your case, and
therefore the ToString() operation on the null reference is failing
which problem is not related to the MapScript library itself.

Best regards,

Tamas

Hi all,

I am trying to develop an application in C# (VS2005) with mapscript. I
saw the material of Paolo. But I am facing a problem 

 

In the line 

 

mapObj map= new
mapObj(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["C:/ms4w/Ap
ache/htdocs/mapservertest/Addison.map"].toString())

 

It is generating the error " Object reference not set to an instance of
an object"

 

How can I correct this? If anyone helps me in correcting it, it will be
great.

 

Suman
