Beta2 Init problem

djMax · Post by **djMax** » Mon Jun 27, 2005 12:06 pm

My VS.Net plugin that used Vault (which worked with 3.1 Beta1) is failing now with this:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at VaultClientOperationsLib.LocalSettings.GetBool(String key)
at VaultClientPresentationLib.GUIClientInstance.Init(FormShiftQuery dialogOwner, AccessLevelType accessLevel)

Thoughts?

Thanks.

I think maybe I'm supposed to call LocalSettings.Init() first.

Yes, I was just looking at this, and that is exactly the right workaround.

We made a change in Beta 2 to account for the possibility of there not being a registry for local settings (for the Unix and OSX CLC), and it now looks like local settings needs to be initialized prior to GUIClientInstance init.

There is no problem running the other VaultAPI programs, so I can only conclude that this is a result of your using GUIClientInstance (which was not intended to be used outside of the VaultGUIClient.exe) instead of the regular ClientInstance. Is there a reason that you're using GUIClientInstance?
