Hi Folks,

This is really eating my head. My asp.net application (framework 3.5) in the production server (Windows Server 2008 R2 with IIS7) suddenly started crashing for no reason. From the event log, I got the error as below:

 

Log Name:      Application

</Event>

 

 

Please note that, there is not code issue on the line mentioned in the event log.. The application has been running for more than a year successfully.. the issue started from last two days on.. I guess, the error occurs when connecting to database.. Also note that, its not happening all the time, four or five times a day..

 

I would appreciate for any kind of help on this regards..

it is clear that objects being used in blabla.DAL.TertiaryProductCategory.Finalize() method has null value.

post your code of the TertiaryProductCategory class, so that we can identify the actual problem.

Hi,

Please note that the error is no way related to null, it is showing wrong error. Because, the application is running perfectly with IIS 6. This is purely related to an IIS 7 error.
