Today i encounter a strange thing. Yesterday all my code was working fine i test it twice before shutting down my pc. Today when i try to open my project exception arrives "System.NullReferenceException Object reference not set to an instance of an object." I searched for the solutions, but none works for me. I did not upgrade silverlight version, i start my work with silverlight 4 and cuurently i am using the same. Here is the stack trace for the exception:
System.NullReferenceException Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at Microsoft.Windows.Design.Platform.SilverlightMetadataContext.SilverlightXamlExtensionImplementations.d__8.MoveNext() at MS.Internal.Design.Metadata.ReflectionProjectNode.BuildSubsumption() at MS.Internal.Design.Metadata.ReflectionProjectNode.SubsumingNamespace(Identifier identifier) at MS.Internal.Design.Markup.XmlElement.BuildScope(PrefixScope parentScope, IParseContext context) at MS.Internal.Design.Markup.XmlElement.ConvertToXaml(XamlElement parent, PrefixScope parentScope, IParseContext context, IMarkupSourceProvider provider) at MS.Internal.Design.DocumentModel.DocumentTrees.Markup.XamlSourceDocument.FullParse(Boolean convertToXamlWithErrors) at MS.Internal.Design.DocumentModel.DocumentTrees.Markup.XamlSourceDocument.get_RootItem() at Microsoft.Windows.Design.DocumentModel.Trees.ModifiableDocumentTree.get_ModifiableRootItem() at Microsoft.Windows.Design.DocumentModel.MarkupDocumentManagerBase.get_LoadState() at MS.Internal.Host.PersistenceSubsystem.Load() at MS.Internal.Host.Designer.Load() at MS.Internal.Designer.VSDesigner.Load() at MS.Internal.Designer.VSIsolatedDesigner.VSIsolatedView.Load() at MS.Internal.Designer.VSIsolatedDesigner.VSIsolatedDesignerFactory.Load(IsolatedView view) at MS.Internal.Host.Isolation.IsolatedDesigner.BootstrapProxy.LoadDesigner(IsolatedDesignerFactory factory, IsolatedView view) at MS.Internal.Host.Isolation.IsolatedDesigner.BootstrapProxy.LoadDesigner(IsolatedDesignerFactory factory, IsolatedView view) at MS.Internal.Host.Isolation.IsolatedDesigner.Load()
Hopefully your suggestions will solve my problem.
After trying for 3-4 hours i go for simple aproach and it works! Here is what i do:
I suspect that as i did not change the default setting so SL4 updated itself to SL5 without notifying me :) Make sure to disable automatic updates.
