    Strange error with "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

    I have created my own user control with a simple login form using asp:Login. This form is inserted into my login page in the template. In all my pages I have a little xslt macro using <xsl:when test="umbraco.library:IsLoggedOn() = true()" to check if the member is logged in or not. If not then I show a link to my login page.

    When I'm clicking on the link, then my login page shows up correctly.

    But if I instead is entering the login page directly as http://dynamicsexperts.net/login.aspx then I'm getting this error:

     

    Object reference not set to an instance of an object. body {font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;font-size: .7em;color:black;} p {font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;color:black;margin-top: -5px} b {font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:bold;color:black;margin-top: -5px} H1 { font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;font-size:18pt;color:red } H2 { font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;font-size:14pt;color:maroon } pre {font-family:"Lucida Console";font-size: .9em} .marker {font-weight: bold; color: black;text-decoration: none;} .version {color: gray;} .error {margin-bottom: 10px;} .expandable { text-decoration:underline; font-weight:bold; color:navy; cursor:hand; }

    I am not really sure what goes on here. Shouldn't it be the same? The only thing what I can think about is that it might be something with this code of my user control:

            public string GetURL;

            protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {

                if (Request.IsAuthenticated)
                {
                    Login1.Visible = false;
                    Literal1.Text = "You are already logged in!";
                }


                if (!IsPostBack)
                {
                    GetURL = Request.UrlReferrer.ToString();
                }

                Login1.DestinationPageUrl = GetURL;
            }

    I would be very happy if anyone can see what there is wrong, or at least help me in the right direction.

    Hi Erik,

    If you access the page directly you don't have a referer, so this line (Request.UrlReferrer.ToString(); ) will not work. Make sure the Request.UrlReferer is not null.

    Cheers,

    Richard
