iOS Question Exception: Target is null. Method called: Contains:

[schimanski]

Not always, but sometimes I get an errormessage for this line:

If Nachricht.Contains("[@TIP@]§AUTHENxxxx") Then

Does somebody knows something about it? Thanks for help.

Error occurred on line: 213 (server)

This error means that the map was not initialized.

 

[schimanski]

Sorry, to little info: Nachricht is a string in that case and 'contains' the string-function, not a map....

 

[Erel]

Where are you assigning its value?

 

[schimanski]

I get the data from a serverstream...

 filestream_NewData (Buffer() As Byte)
    Try
      
       
        Dim Nachricht As String
        Nachricht = BytesToString(Buffer, 0, Buffer.Length, "windows-1252")

 

[Erel]

This means that BytesToString failed to decode the data as valid string (I've changed the behavior to throw an exception in that case).

Are you using AsyncStreams in prefix mode?

 

[schimanski]

I don't use AsyncStreams.initializePrefix. I only use AsyncStreams.initialize.

 

[Erel]

This means that you should expect messages to be split (or merged) and handle this.

You can try to use ASCII as the encoding. It will most probably accept any data you give it.

 

[schimanski]

ASCII works...much thanks for your efforts
