    Recursive GetPropertyValue throwing NullReferenceException on LIVE server only

    I have an event wired into ContentService.Published, which contains (among other things) a simple call to a recursive GetPropertyValue:

    var umbHelper = new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);
var itemGroupName = umbHelper.TypedContent(item.Id).GetPropertyValue<string>("PropertyName", true);

    On the LIVE server, when I publish one of TWO particular nodes, I'm getting a NullReferenceException, which is barfing at this call to GetPropertyValue, giving me a "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error.

    Peculiar, so I took a DB backup, and restored to my local dev machine - rebuilt indexes etc., and tried to publish the same nodes - and they published FINE. Same code, same database.

    Have tried rebuilding indexes on live site, restarting DB, restarting IIS, restarting server - am flummoxed as to why these two nodes are problematic on LIVE but not on DEV.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Thanks,

    Mike

    Hi Mike,

    Can you test like that :

                var umbHelper = new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);
            var node = umbHelper.TypedContent(item.Id);
            if (node != null)
            {
                var itemGroupName = node.GetPropertyValue<string>("PropertyName", true);

            }

    Problem with typedContent or inside GetPropertyValue method.

    Thanks, Alex

    Hi Alex,

    I'll give that a try - the stack trace suggests it's the GetPropertyValue method, but if it was a problem with either, surely it would break on DEV as well as on LIVE?

    Really strange, but maybe checking will help

                var umbHelper = new UmbracoHelper(UmbracoContext.Current);
            var testNode = umbHelper.TypedContent(1);
            if (testNode.HasValue("PropertyName", true))
            {
                var itemGroupName = testNode.GetPropertyValue<string>("PropertyName", true);
            }
