Hello! I am basically 4 weeks into my first ever programming class and we are working on a project for the game "Hangman". While I have struggled with everything for the past 3 weeks, I have finally cams across something I have no idea how to correct. I am getting a Null.Reference error in the following line of my code:
If Not strWordToGuess.Contains(strLetterGuessed) Then

Now this code was provided in my project files, it was dated 4/07, I am currently working in VB 8 express, I am thinking this might have something to do with it.

Any help anyone could provide, or shine some light onto this dark area would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
