I'm on Orchard 1.7.2 and I get this error everywhere in my site (which I assume causes the load times to slow down):
Orchard.DisplayManagement.Implementation.DefaultDisplayManager - NullReferenceException thrown from Action`1 by System.Action`1[[Orchard.DisplayManagement.Implementation.ShapeDisplayingContext, Orchard.Framework, Version=1.7.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]]
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
So I traced the issue and found the function public string Slug within TermPart.cs (line 16).
public string Slug {
get { return this.As<AutoroutePart>().DisplayAlias; }
set { this.As<AutoroutePart>().DisplayAlias = value; }
}
I found out that this.As<AutoroutePart>() is null, and checking out the parts of the Content Item (via this.ContentItem.Parts), there is no AutoroutePart. Since it is null, a null reference exception is thrown when trying to retrieve the property DisplayAlias.
See image below:
Is this a known issue? Any workarounds? Is this what's causing my site to slow down?
Although having these exceptions definitely has an impact on performance I doubt it could cause a noticeable slowdown.
The exception is caused by Taxonomies's TermPart depending on AutoroutePart; i.e. if your content item doesn't use AutoroutePart (what should be pretty rare IMO) then you'll see this exception. Making TermPart depend on Autoroute is a questionable design decision (at least it could use IAliasAspect instead). Please open a bug report about the issue because this should be addressed somehow.
In the meantime you could attach AutoroutePart to the content type in question to get rid of the exceptions.

I replaced all of my JNDI lookups with JNDI.lookup() method because it seemed convenient, dealt with dynamic return types, etc. All was great...but now I just noticed that the checked exceptions that I had to catch before are no longer there.
I assumed this was because it would have just returned null if the JNDI variable didn't exist but it doesn't. It now just throws an unchecked exception.
Any idea why? Is there a way of just returning null for non-existant variables instead?
I created a bug for this on the omnifaces website: https://github.com/omnifaces/omnifaces/issues/141
Not sure if this is intended behavior or not.
Is there a way of just returning null for non-existant variables instead?
It does that for NameNotFoundException. The problem was here not in OmniFaces, but in the environment, which was GlassFish 4.1 in your specific case. It unexpectedly wrapped the NameNotFoundException in another NamingException, hereby causing the underlying NameNotFoundException to slip through and bypass the return null condition.
This has been fixed with help of Exceptions#is() utility method as per this comment. It will be available in OmniFaces 2.2.
I am running my application in VS2012 and I am getting a runtime error;
When I look in the "Original Location" I see mscorlib.dll, but not mscorlib.pdb.
Why is this happening and how do I fix it?
Goto Tools, Options, Debugging, General, Enable Just My Code
This will prevent the debugger from trying to launch on a Internal .NET Framework Assembly.
Goto Tools, Options, Debugging, Symbols and set a cache location. Then hit load in the above and it will fetch the necesary symbols for you and store them in the cache location you provide.
Microsoft's compiler tools create symbols in separate files with a .pdb extension (program database). This allows them to create detached symbols for release binaries. With a symbol server, your IDE can fetch the symbol file matching the specific version of the DLL during debugging. You can configure this system for your own product binaries as well which can be very useful for post-mortem debugging any crashes on end-user machines.
See Microsoft's documentation for more details about using their public symbols.
I had this issue when I was using a static variable, whose value is assigned off a static method.
So, whenever I ran the application, this line of code threw exception. If you place a debug point on this (like I did), you will notice the exception being thrown.
The best Solution to solve this error is:
1: Open App.config file.
2: Paste this useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true" code in the startup tag.
3: Save it.
Now the error would disappear.
Moreover see Image. I have done this for you.
This happened to me for a different reason: I had referenced an old version of NLog (2.0) and needed to reference version 4.0, instead.
In a VB console app, in my case it was none of the above.
Just doing a string calculation in the Dim declarations before my subs.
The offending code:
Dim FylPrefix$ = Fyl.Substring(0, Fyl.LastIndexOf("."))
Moving this calculation into the sub it was needed in fixed it! GERONIMO!!
This can happen when you initialize a variable in your class declarations and that initialization throws an exception:
class Program
{
static OracleConnection ora = getOracleConnection();
}
static void main(string[] args)
{
ora.Open();
}
static OracleConnection getOracleConnection()
{
OracleConnection orax = new OracleConnection(description=(host=myHost)
(port=1521)(protocol=tcp))(connect_data=(sid=mySid)));user id=user;password=pw;
}
If an exception is thrown by getOracleConnection() you can get this error. Move your assignment (but not necessarily your declaration) inside of main (where it belongs anyway), and you will get the actual exception that is causing the error instead of the mscorlib error.
In my case the exception began to appear after I changed the "Assembly name" in the "Application" tab of the properties window. If that's the case with you try reverting to the original name and see if the exception disappears.
Perhaps the reason for this was that the new name did not match the AssemblyTitle in AssemblyInfo.cs.

WHen I start VS2012 I always get an exception tellng me to look at ActivityLog.xml. Here is what I see- useless to me. Hoping someone else has seen this before.
Also - VS2012 eats 100% of the CPU on the machine at time. Hoping the two are related and fixable.

There was a compatibility issue which could produce similar stack trace, and it was fixed in latest release.
I discovered SubSonic this evening, and after a little bit of playing with it and MySQL Connector versions, I finally got it to accept my connection string setting up a simple repository.
So I created a simple class, and went to town adding some data to the class then creating a repo, and trying to save the record.
All I can seem to get out of it is null exception errors when I call:
repo.Add(user);
No idea what's null though, and the error isn't very clear.
At one point, I changed the type of my ID field in my User class to a long and got another error out of SubSonic (saying it couldn't tell what field was my ID field, telling me to name it ID or put a tag on it, but it was already named ID)
I've put data in every field in the class, even those that are not required per the database, but nothing.
I spent the rest of the evening googling for information on my error, but no luck, and the documentation on the site didn't get me anywhere either.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or how I could possibly diagnose this?
Thanks in advance for any help...

Another Update
I'm noticing that if I change the class (User) and modify one of the properties, that the property changes get reflected in the database. Also if I drop the table, it gets constructed based on my Class. So the migrations part is working, it's something happening after that.
Final Update
Okay, I deleted the table, and changed the class to use a long as the ID field. Set to RunMigrations, and ran again, and it failed because of no default value for ID. I set the column in MySQL to AutoIncrement and all is working fine now. Not sure how it's different than setting it to long yesterday (unless changes weren't getting applied like I thought they were).
Anyway, so I guess this question is closed...
This is a issue with the mysql.data provider. Normally the connector would throw a meaningful exception but has an internal nullreference exception itself before that happens.
Look at my answer here: Subsonic 3.0.0.4 ActiveRecord Template for MySQL error on inserting new record
That explains how to work around that.
I've got a web part that accesses the SP object model, packaged in an assembly which is signed and deployed to the GAC. The web.config is set for "Full" trust, and yet my web part throws a SecurityException. The offending lines of code:
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(new SPSecurity.CodeToRunElevated(() =>
{
foreach (SPGroup g in user.Groups)
{
identity += String.Format(",'{0}'", g.Name.ToLowerInvariant().Replace(#"\", #"\\"));
}
}));
It appears that the exception is thrown when RunWithElevatedPrivileges is called (in other words, my delegate doesn't execute at all). Any ideas? I'm completely bewildered at this point.
update: here's what the code looked like before I wrapped it in the RunWithElevatedPrivileges method:
public MyWebPart()
{
context = new MyProject.Data.MyDataContext(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MyDB"].ConnectionString);
SPUser user = SPContext.Current.Web.CurrentUser;
identity = String.Format("'{0}'", user.LoginName.ToLowerInvariant().Replace(#"\", #"\\"));
foreach (SPGroup g in user.Groups)
{
identity += String.Format(",'{0}'", g.Name.ToLowerInvariant().Replace(#"\", #"\\"));
}
identity = '[' + identity + ']';
}
And the exception:
System.Security.SecurityException occurred
Message="Request failed."
Source="Microsoft.SharePoint"
StackTrace:
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPBaseCollection.System.Collections.IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()
at MyProject.MyWebPart..ctor()
InnerException:
Based on the highlight provided by the exception helper, it looks like the attempted access of the SPUser.Groups property is the problem: user.Groups.
What's got me really confused is that this exact code was working fine two days ago, but I had some other problems with the farm and basically had to rebuild it. After getting everything else back up again, I went and tried to add this web part to a page and this problem manifested itself. I tried wrapping the code in the RunWithElevatedPrivileges wrapper to see if I could isolate exactly the offending bit, but it looks like anything that touches the SP oject model causes the exception, including the RunWithElevatedPrivileges method.
update2: I still don't know the real reason this was failing, but it was happening when I was trying to add the web part. After setting breakpoints in the debugger, I realized that the constructor was being called twice; the first time, it all worked exactly as expected, but the second time was when the exception was being thrown. I still have no idea why. I found two ways around this: move the offending code out of the constructor into a later point in the lifecycle of the web part, or comment out the code to add the web part, then uncomment it and redeploy.
Apparently, the reason this "worked 3 days ago" was because I had added my web part to a page a long time ago, and then added the above code to the constructor. Since the web part was already added, I never saw any problems. Later, when I recently had to rebuild the site and add the web part to the page again, this problem manifested itself. So technically, it didn't "work" before, I just wasn't doing the thing that made it misbehave.
Anyway, like I said - I still don't know the true cause of the exception, so answers along those lines are still welcome.
The problem could occur if you try to work with SharePoint objects which were created outside of the RunWithElevatedPrivileges() method, and therefore still hold their old security context. In your case you use a SPUser object which was not created within the RunWithElevatedPrivileges() method.
To work around, you should create the object you want to work with within the delegate. Safe Ids or URLs outside of the delegate, to use them for recreating the objects. E.g.: safe the URL or ID of a SPSite object and use it to create it again within the delegate.
public void Demo()
{
string siteURL = SPContext.Current.Site.Url;
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate(){
using (SPSite safeSite = new SPSite(siteURL))
{
// place your code here ...
}
});
}
Perhaps you could post the stack trace so we can get some more information.
