Question by matinlotfali · Jan 15, 2018 at 10:39 PM · nullreferenceexceptionassignment

NullReferenceException on an assignment line

Hi everyone.

I am confused because I am just assigning a null to my instance bug I am receiving NullReferenceException on the following line:

 128    catch (Exception ex)
 129    {
 130            device = null;
 131    }

The content of the exception is:

 NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
 SampleScript.OnRawFrame (System.Int32 nSeq, System.Int32[] data) (at Assets/SampleScript.cs:130)
 BioSignalPlux.CSharp.BaseDevice.Loop () (at Assets/BioSignalPlux.cs:180)
 SampleScript.Update () (at Assets/SampleScript.cs:80)

And it happens randomly after 1 minute my code runs. Please help me figure out the problem.

It's because NullReferenceException is given when you try to use a variable that is null which means no value assigned. When you make it null and try to use it, it will give you that error.

Thank you! I know what is the meaning of this exception. For your information. if you read the line 130, I am not using it. I am only assigning.

Are you sure anything else also not using it? $$anonymous$$aybe something else was using it when you assigned it as null.

In that case, the exception would be different.
