This is the error i get when trying to do FolderList.Items.Clear() or anything else dealing with the list box that i added to my form.
An unhandled exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in WindowsApplication1.exe
Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
i know this is probably a stupid question but are then items in the list?
no, but it still gives the same error even when i try to just add items to the list.
can you post the code?
try deleting and readding FolderList to your form (please note this will require that you "rewire" any events for FolderList that were being handled in code)
it sounds like at some point the name got changed or something and it was not reflected in the collapsed for designer code
That is not clear. Do you mean that you can't add items to the list?Quote:

I have tried deleting the control and re-adding it and using the default name of the control; ListBox1.Quote:

I still get the same error.
can you add anything at all even a string?
try a rebuild all.. perhaps its using an old cache of the compiled exe
Rebuilt entire project.... no luck
ListBox1.Items.Add("fun")
doesnt work.
try creating a new project and adding a listbox and trying to add an item... if that fails as well then perhaps something is screwy with your install and it may require a reinstallation... otherwise at least it has to do just with that project
wow... creating a new projected worked.... go figure.
thanks!
A few questions.
Did you create the Listbox in code or in design mode?
Are you getting the error at design time or run time?
If at runtime, does any previous part of the program run?
