"En Það Besta Sem Guð Hefur Skapað, Er Nýr Dagur. (But the best thing God has created, is a New Day.) -- Sigur Ròs - Viðrar vel til loftárása" Hi Luca, That fascinating quote compelled me to go a-google; I assumed it was a quote from some medieval Scandinavian skald sitting on a hill watching a battle (or a nice plundering raid on an English town) commence and making notes for his edda or saga :) Even more fascinating that it's a quote from a contemporary Icelandic ambient music group, and that song title translates as "A Good Day for Airstrikes." thanks, Bill "The greater the social and cultural distances between people, the more magical the light that can spring from their contact."

If you see the code, this part stackTrace = new StackTrace(); stackFrame = stackTrace.GetFrame(2); is in a try-catch block that catchs all the exceptions, also, methodBase is checked for null, so the exception is not thrown there. Also, the exception is a null reference generated in the posted method, not in any method called by it, meaning that we tried to call methods on some variable or property that was null.

Please post your question with the proper information and in the proper forum. We will need complete error information and probably some sample code to determine the problem. Questions are answered on the forum, not through email. This way the entire community can benefit from the answer. "Quality Software since 1983!"

Not necessarily - Close() is often an alias for Dispose() and that never throws exceptions when called more times than necessary (as per the disposable pattern recommendations - Dispose() should under no circumstances whatsoever be dangerous to call - regardless of state). Any other method should throw an ObjectDisposedException, however. I may be wrong about DataReaders, but it's definitely so (Close and Dispose are the same - or actually, one calls the other) for Streams (as per the documentation). -- Peter

I don't understand why you consider this a problem in the first place. You are expecting Internet Explorer to figure out and fix your screw-up?!

In my opinion you are 8 days late. I trust you will claim to be ahead a few gazillion years?

Actually, that raises an issue with .NET that bugs me. Opening a text file for append is dog slow when the file is of any size, no matter what method you use. I think the .NET framework must use a very inefficient (character-at-a-time, probably) method to read through to the end of the file (when it could, of course, just do a simple seek). I suppose this was lucky for you though in a way in that the performance impact this causes made you go looking for your bug. Paul Sanders http://www.alpinesoft.co.uk

I've had simmilar issues with C# and VS2008.... Especially when adding new line characters, never easy to fix.... A simple debug tip is to do String debugString = theString.Replace("\r\n", "@@@"); and then breakpoint the line after.

Better to add to your toolbox of utility/helper methods: static bool WaitForKeyPress() { return WaitForKeyPress( ConsoleKey.Escape ) ; } static bool WaitForKeyPress( ConsoleKey quit_key ) { ConsoleKeyInfo keypress ; bool fQuit = false ; FlushConsoleInputBuffer() ; WriteConditionalEOL() ; Console.Write( "Press ESC to quit or any other key to continue> " ) ; keypress = Console.ReadKey( false ); fQuit = ( keypress.Key == quit_key ? true : false ); WriteConditionalEOL(); return fQuit; } private static void FlushConsoleInputBuffer() { while ( Console.KeyAvailable ) { Console.ReadKey( true ); // true: don't echo input } return; } private static void WriteConditionalEOL() { if ( Console.CursorLeft > 0 ) { Console.WriteLine(); } return; }

But wait, there's more! Casting Infinity to an int gives -2147483648. I can see some nasties happening down that little travelled path.

My old router at home was useless at forwarding ipv6 but did it in such a way that the connections didn't time out properly and it caused havok with my networking for a while. if you type about:config into the address bar and filter on network.dns.disableIPv6 you can stop firefox from using IPV6 Russ
