I'm hoping you can help me. I'm getting the Object reference error on a webserver which contains an application we run.
Someone reset it this week and updated the server with (about) 50 new updates. I know. terrible. Anyway.. since then we're getting this error.
Server Error in '/' Application.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Source Error:

I suspect it's the languageItems variable, which is being passed from another function:
public static XmlDocument GetOverviewDocument(IMainController mc) {
string[] languageItems = { "usermanagement", "customermanagement", "ordermanagement", "ordermanagement LB", "systemmanagement", "qualitymanagement", "overview", "loggedinas", "logout", "Change password", "managementoverview" }; XmlDocument doc = GetRootDocument(languageItems, mc); return doc;}
Since I'm not an ASP guru like most of you I have no idea what's actually happening here; whether it's something to do with the updates to .NET which were installed, if it's code-syntax related or if there's a simple config mistake in web.config which I'm overlooking.
Any help would be most, MOST appreciated.
