Value cannot be null. Parameter name: stream

Question

Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: stream

I'm not sure how to resolve this.  I have referenced filefs but before this was working fine:

            Dim file As New IO.FileInfo(sIncomingfile)
            Dim filefs As IO.FileStream = Nothing
            Dim reader As New IO.StreamReader(filefs)  <-------- Problem is that it doesn't like Nothing

Answer 1

Isn't that kinda logical that you can't pass Nothing to a method that expects to do something with the parameter?
