    Object reference not set to an instance of an object

    Perhaps someone tried this before?

    It started out when I added a property to a master-documenttype.

    I noticed that it did not show up on all my nodes (that documenttype)

    Then I tried to delete the property, but it failed with: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

    Now all the nodes with the buggy documenttype are shown as: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" when loading from the Umbraco GUI.

    Pages are still showing as normal.

    I can get the error to go away (for some time) if I publish the top-node and all sub-nodes.

    Object reference not set to an instance of an object, are also showing when I try to delete a package from "Created packages".

    Umbraco: 4.0.2.1
    dotNET: 3.5
    IIS: 7
    OS: Win2008srv

    Any help are most welcome :)

    I have tryed something similar long ago, I solved it by deleting a few rows in the DB, think it was in the PropertyData table.

    Hi Hendrik,

    @ronnie: which rows did you delete? :-)

    @Richard: So adding this little thingie might help, you think?

    obj = c.getProperty(this);

    if (obj != null)

       obj.delete();

    I did some testing with Henrik's solution. It seems that there's some datainconsistency that makes some trouble.

    I've not been able to clean the database enough to make the error dissapear but I've looked into how controls are added to the page. I've just added a check if the property is really there.

    In ContentControl.cs's constructor (in from umbraco.presentation) the following line:

    addControlNew(cp, tp, t.Caption);

     

    Is changed to:  

    Property cp = _content.getProperty(pt);

    if (cp != null)
        addControlNew(cp, tp, t.Caption);
    else
        Log.Add(LogTypes.Error, _content.Id, "Property not found. Alias=" + pt.Alias + ", id=" + pt.Id + ", contenttypeid=" + pt.ContentTypeId);

     

    As a result the page is rendered and editable in Umbraco GUI. I've not tested it that much but it seems to do the trick.

    Hi, guys.

    I thought this was fixed in 4.5 but I still get the same error when I add the data type (ImageCropper) for my media type (Image)

    Can I use the same fix as above? (Can not immediately locate the files)

    I wanted to add that I was receiving this same problem and doing a an iireset fixed the problem (it was a full iisreset, not just the site, fyi - might have worked for just the site also, but I'm not sure).

    Hello folks

    Let me raise this one from the grave ...

    I'm on 4.7.0 and I just deleted a document property and created a new one.  First with the same alias and then with another, but either way gives me the attached error.

    If the property is located on the 'Generic Properties' tab, it doesn't fail, but the property is hidden or gone so to speak.
    If I move the property to a tab that is inherited from my master document, I get the attached error.

    The original property was the DAMP- Media picker, but the new one is the uComponents - MultiNode Tree Picker.

    My biggets problem is that the site is almost finished, and right now I cannot pick any media because of this error or create a new document that uses this document property.
    So folks, I really need your help on this one.

    Sounds like maybe you didn't copy all the required files for the upgrade, are you sure copied the /bin/, /install/, /umbraco/ and /umbraco_client/ folders?  There are also some changes in the configs but I think this error is probably related to the install folder

    Hi,

    Due to performance issue , I have added the publishing code in thread

     

     try

                        {

                            HttpontextforMailSending gethttpcontextforpublish2 = new HttpontextforMailSending()

                            {

                                HttpContextReference = HttpContext.Current,

                                courseDocument = shortCourseDocument,

                                createdUser = new User(0)

                            };

                            Thread t2 = new Thread(PublishDocument);

                            t2.Start(gethttpcontextforpublish2);

                        }

                        catch

                        {

                        }

     

     

     

     private void PublishDocument(object input)

            {

                HttpontextforMailSending httpcontextformail = (HttpontextforMailSending)input;

                Document course = httpcontextformail.courseDocument;

                User createduser = httpcontextformail.createdUser;

                if (course != null && createduser != null)

                {

                    course.Publish(createduser);

                    umbraco.library.UpdateDocumentCache(course.Id);

                }

     

            }

     

     

     

    public class HttpontextforMailSending

        {

            public HttpContext HttpContextReference { get; set; }       

            public Document courseDocument { get; set; }

            public User createdUser { get; set; }

        }

     

     

    but i got "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error on "course.Publish(createduser);"

     

    Please anyone help me to solving this.

     

    Thanks
