C# in a Nutshell

Name

TargetException

Synopsis

This exception is thrown when you attempt to invoke a nonstatic method on a null object reference. (Note that in Beta1 of the .NET SDK, it was permissible to call a nonvirtual method against a null reference, so long as that method didn’t access any of the fields in the type. In Beta2 and beyond, this “feature” has been closed and removed.)
