[RESOLVED] Object reference not set on event

[Cyb3rH4Xter]

I get an object reference not set error on this line:

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.ProcessExit += new EventHandler(OnApplicationExit);

The method OnApplicationExit is a public void non-static. What should I do to get rid of this error beside making it static?

[Lord_Rat]

Change its name. OnApplicationExit is ambiguous because an event already exists by that name. You'll probably be OK once you change it. (Just use find/replace.)

Hmm didn't work, even tried YellowHoneyBunny.

Here is the exact message:

Error	1	An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'Client.Program.Process_Exit(object, System.EventArgs)'

Here is the code:

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            AppDomain.CurrentDomain.ProcessExit += new EventHandler(Process_Exit);
        }

        // The event handler for application exit
        public void Process_Exit(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
           stuff
        }

Maybe I am declaring it in the wrong place somehow? (It's a console app btw)

Oh you're doing this in a console app! Since your main thread runs as static, your event handlers that are a part of that same class need to also be static.

If you want it to be non-static, create a new class somewhere, declare an instance of that class and handle the event in that instance.

I first created a new class and so on and got it nearly working until I realized it was better to make it all static.

No, no it really wasn't.
