When I chapter 13 Oracle I received this error :
[red]An unhandled exception of type 'System.Exception' occurred in wroxdataaccess.dll

Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Both these modules had failed:
1-objReg = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("SOFTWARE\" & _
                Company & "\" & Application & "\Database", False)


 2- Connection = New OracleConnection( _
                "Data Source=" & objReg.GetValue("Server") & ";" & _
                "User ID=" & Crypto.Decrypt(objReg.GetValue("Login")) & ";" & _
                "Password=" & Crypto.Decrypt(objReg.GetValue("Password")) & ";")

Please advise, I am realy interested of running chapter 13 in Oracle.
Thanks

Sam,

There are not enough details here to help troubleshoot your problem. You will need to be more specific in your errors and the code you were trying to run.

However, from your post, it looks like the data access component could not read the registry key and create a new connection. This is the same code that should be running in Chapter 12 so my question to you is are you able to run the code in Chapter 12 with no problems?

Hi Thearon,
Thak you very much for your respond. Unfortunately I was not able to run any chapter at all!! the exact error message:
[u]An unhandeled exception of type 'system.exception'occured in wroxdataaccess.dll
Object reference not set to an instance of an object</u>.
that happened agter I logged in(ch.12, ch13..)
the error occured and stoped on finally with the previous error message.
public sub new(byval....)
   ....
  finally
end sub

I hope we can solve this problem because really I liked this book becuase it runs on Oracle.
Thanks for your help.
Sam

Sam,

I think I know what the problem is. You have not created your registry keys so you'll need to back up and start from Chapter 10.
