object reference error

[pgrimes]

I'm having trouble moving some code from one server to another (again) :(

I have 2 identical systems. I uploaded some code to the server, and I'm getting an error message. I run the exact same code on my other system, and it doesn't have an error.

The error only happens when I debug the code (in vs .net) on the server (If I browse to the aspx, it has no problem).

Here's the error I get:

Server Error in '/cpthandler/processUploads' Application.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:1.0.3705.209; ASP.NET Version:1.0.3705.0


I have this at the top of my code:


Public Class processUpload
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected WithEvents Form1 As System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlForm
Protected WithEvents mainHTML As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Literal

And the html source for the aspx has this:

<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<asp:Literal ID="mainHTML" Runat="server" />
</form>


Everything should be okay as far as syntax goes... like I said, the exact same code works on my other system when debugged.

thx,
