[RESOLVED] [02/03] "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

I don't know why it's saying this when I try to have the data emailed to me, I copied the code from a working form that I just did.

vb Code:

Private Sub btnSubmit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnSubmit.Click
        If Not emailit() Then
            lblResult.Text = "Error generated during form processing. Please try again."
        End If
    End Sub
 
    Public Function emailit() As Boolean
        Dim sent_ok = False
 
 
        Try
            Dim str As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder
            Dim m As Mail.MailMessage = New Mail.MailMessage
 
 
 
            m.To = "email"
            m.From = txtEmail.Text
            m.Priority = Mail.MailPriority.High
            m.Subject = "Open House Form"
 
            Dim body As String
 
            body &= "Open House" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
            body &= "First Name: " & txtFirst.Text & vbCrLf
            body &= "Last Name: " & txtLast.Text & vbCrLf
            body &= "Address: " & txtAddress1.Text & " " & txtAddress2.Text & vbCrLf
            body &= "City: " & txtCity.Text & vbCrLf
            body &= "State: " & ddlStates.SelectedValue & vbCrLf
            body &= "ZIP: " & txtZIP.Text & vbCrLf
            body &= "Phone: " & txtAreaCode.Text & txtPhone.Text & vbCrLf
 
 
 
            m.Body = body
            'cc sender so they have a copy
            '  m.Cc = eventClass.ContactEmail
 
 
 
            m.Headers.Add("Priority", "high")
            Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost"
            Mail.SmtpMail.Send(m)
            lblResult.Text = "Thank you, someone will contact you shortly."
            sent_ok = True
        Catch ex As Exception
            sent_ok = False
 
            Dim merror As Mail.MailMessage = New Mail.MailMessage
            merror.To = "email"
            merror.From = "email"
            merror.Subject = "Event Error"
            merror.Body = ex.Message
            Mail.SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "localhost"
            Mail.SmtpMail.Send(merror)
 
 
        End Try
 
        Return sent_ok
    End Function
End Class

It detects an error and sends me the message, and the message just says "Object reference not set to an instance of an object.". Everything is the same as the working form I copied it from, other than a few fields that I deleted.


EDIT: Fixed it, missed one last stupid error.

When I find the guy that keeps spreading those nasty rumours that we're clairvoyant.... I'm going to have a few words....

Might help to know what line the error happens on....

Oh... I get it.... were you expecting something more.... it gave you what you asked... the ex.message.... if you want FULL details... try ex.ToString instead.
