Question by Ochreous · Jan 05, 2013 at 08:02 PM · c#nullreferenceexceptiontextfield

C# Another Null reference exception

Hi everyone, In a previous question I got a null reference exception because _playerName wasn't initialized which has been fixed.But unfortunately I've encountered another null reference exception. This time I'm trying to assign what the _playerName was in the xml file to the string in the script. Any idea how to fix this? I have been trying to figure out what went wrong but as far as I can tell there is nothing wrong.

 using UnityEngine; 
 using System.Collections; 
 using System.Xml; 
 using System.Xml.Serialization; 
 using System.IO; 
 using System.Text; 
 
 public class _GameSaveLoad: MonoBehaviour { 
 
 
    Rect _Save, _Load, _SaveMSG, _LoadMSG; 
    bool _ShouldSave, _ShouldLoad,_SwitchSave,_SwitchLoad; 
    string _FileLocation,_FileName; 
    public GameObject _Player; 
    UserData myData; 
    string _PlayerName = ""; 
    string _data; 
 
    Vector3 VPosition; 
 
    void Start () { 
 
       _Save=new Rect(10,80,100,20); 
       _Load=new Rect(10,100,100,20); 
       _SaveMSG=new Rect(10,120,400,40); 
       _LoadMSG=new Rect(10,140,400,40); 
 
       _FileLocation=Application.dataPath; 
       _FileName="SaveData.xml"; 
 
 
 
       myData=new UserData(); 
    } 
 
    void Update () {} 
 
    void OnGUI() 
    {
 
 _PlayerName = GUILayout.TextField (_PlayerName,GUILayout.Width(150), 


GUILayout.Height(25));

    if (GUI.Button(_Load,"Load")) { 
 
       GUI.Label(_LoadMSG,"Loading from: "+_FileLocation); 
 
       LoadXML(); 
       if(_data.ToString() != "") 
       {
       //null reference exception
 
       _PlayerName = myData._iUser.name; 
 
         myData = (UserData)DeserializeObject(_data); 
         VPosition=new Vector3(myData._iUser.x,myData._iUser.y,myData._iUser.z);              
         _Player.transform.position=VPosition;  
         Debug.Log(myData._iUser.name); 
       } 
 
    }   
    if (GUI.Button(_Save,"Save")) { 
 
      GUI.Label(_SaveMSG,"Saving to: "+_FileLocation); 
      myData._iUser.x=_Player.transform.position.x;

      _data = SerializeObject(myData); 
 
      CreateXML(); 
      Debug.Log(_data); 
    } 
 
 
    }

    {      
       UTF8Encoding encoding = new UTF8Encoding();

You're referencing the myData object before it's populated...

You have:

 _PlayerName = myData._iUser.name; 
 myData = (UserData)DeserializeObject(_data);

I'm guessing this should be the other way around.
