This is probably not the problem you are having, but I ran into a problem with Visual Studio 2005, MM .NET 2.4 and my security software, ZoneAlarm. When I ran the Business Layer Generator while ZoneAlarm was running, the BLG got hung.

>I have MM.NET version 3.5, VS 2008 Team System, .NET 3.5 Framework (with Hot Fix from end of last year), language: C#. When running a business layer generator I get errors "Object reference is not set to an instance of an object".
>
>Scenario 1:
>- Create brand new MM Business Object project (Business Object Library)
>- Configure ABusinessObject.cs (DatabaseKey) and app.config
>- Under Tools start running MM.NET Business Layer Generator.
>- On the 3rd screen (Select Database Items) - select your database and click Get Data
>- expand tables, select a given table and click on one of the tables columns
>- I see error:
>Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
>Source: OakLeaf.MM2008.Framework)
>Stack trace references MM.NET internal code
>
>Scenario 2:
>-Start new instance of VS 2008
>-Open my business project
>-Under Tools start MM.NET Business Layer Generator
>-Go to the 3rd screen - Select Database Items
>-Click Cancel
>-Try starting the business layer generator again - dialog box appears: "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".
