Hello,

We are currently using a program where we recieve the details from the
client. Developed in C#.It is recieved through sockets.
It is working fine. i.e. When we start the program afresh we do get
details properly. We recieve the data as strings and we store in a list
box.But after two or three days we have an error stating as below


System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance
of an object.

stateMask)

You didn't post any code, so the best anyone can do is guess. My guess
is this: you have a valid socket error (connection was reset, generating
the one socket exception), which somehow results in you attempting to
add a null string reference to your list box (generating the
NullReferenceException).

Fix your socket error handling so that it catches the reset connection
exception and doesn't try to add a null reference to the ListBox, and I
would guess the NullReferenceException will go away. You'll still get
the SocketException, but since you'll be handling it, that's okay.
