ASP.net 2.0 Upgrade Issues

  • Article

Question:
"I’ve upgraded a web application which is currently using .NET 1.1 Framework to .NET 2.0 Framework for development purpose. Here are the issues I faced.
1. Variable ' variablename' is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime
2. Function ' functionname' doesn't return a value on all code paths. A null reference exception could occur at run time when the result is used
3. Unused local variable ' variablename' "

Solution:
1. You have to initialize the variable first. Eg: Dim i as integer = 0 ' please give value to it.

2. You have to define the type of the function.

    Public Sub GetIt() ' don't return value

    Public FUnction GetIT() as Integer ' return value

3. This message appears because you didn't use the variable you have declraed. You got examine your code, perhaps the variables you intend to use didn’t hit.
