I'm trying to create a pdf document using iTextSharp 5.3.4 using the following
Document document = new Document();
FileStream stm = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Create);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document, stm);
I'm getting a System.NullReferenceException with the following stack trace:
System.NullReferenceException occurred
HResult=-2147467261
Message=La référence d'objet n'est pas définie à une instance d'un objet.
Source=itextsharp
StackTrace:
à iTextSharp.text.Version.GetInstance()
InnerException:
I've verified that neither document nor stm are null, and if I select "continue" in VS12 the document is created - however the exception is always thrown. I updated to iTextSharp 5.4.0 and it's still occurring. I can't find any information on this anywhere - anyone got any ideas?
Make sure you are not catching all exceptions. This NullReferenceException
can very well be one that is already caught and handled inside iTextSharp, so you don't care about it.
The fact that you can continue supports this theory.
Change the following setting to verify:
Debug -> Exceptions -> Remove the checkbox in the column "Thrown" of "Common Language Runtime Exceptions".
