Hello,

Wondering if anyone knows what is going on with my custom module.  It works fine on my development machine but on my server the module is throwing this error:

DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: The type initializer for "Ryno.DNN.Modules.ReferAbro.Data.DataProvider" threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for "Ryno.DNN.Modules.ReferAbro.Data.DataProvider" threw an exception. ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: type at System.Activator.CreateInstance(Type type, Boolean nonPublic) at DotNetNuke.Framework.Reflection.CreateObject(String TypeName, String CacheKey) at DotNetNuke.Framework.Reflection.CreateObject(String ObjectProviderType, String ObjectProviderName, String ObjectNamespace, String ObjectAssemblyName) at DotNetNuke.Framework.Reflection.CreateObject(String ObjectProviderType, String ObjectNamespace, String ObjectAssemblyName) at Ryno.DNN.Modules.ReferAbro.Data.DataProvider.CreateProvider() at Ryno.DNN.Modules.ReferAbro.Data.DataProvider..cctor() --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at Ryno.DNN.Modules.ReferAbro.Data.DataProvider.Instance() at Ryno.DNN.Modules.ReferAbro.Business.RynoReferABroController.ListRynoReferABroUnregistered() at Ryno.DNN.Modules.ReferAbro.ReferAbro.ProcessPoints() at Ryno.DNN.Modules.ReferAbro.ReferAbro.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

And yet the .ListRynoReferABroUnregistered function is in my DAL and the Stored Procedure is there. It doesn't pass any values and simply retrieves some records into an array.  Here are the snippets from my DAL:

From the Dataprovider:
Public MustOverride Function ListRynoReferABroUnregistered() As IDataReader

From the Controller:
Public Function ListRynoReferABroUnregistered() As ArrayList
            Return CBO.FillCollection(DataProvider.Instance().ListRynoReferABroUnregistered(), GetType(RynoReferABroInfo))
End Function

From the SQLDataProvider:
Public Overrides Function ListRynoReferABroUnregistered() As IDataReader
            Return CType(SqlHelper.ExecuteReader(ConnectionString, DatabaseOwner & ObjectQualifier & "ListRynoReferABroUnregistered"), IDataReader)
 End Function

My SP doesn't accept any variables and works fine on my local machine.  I'm not sure what is going on here.  Very odd.

I'm using DNN3.2.2 by the way.  Thanks for any help.

I'm too poor for anything other than the community version

So I changed the name of the function/stored procedure.  Same problem.  I am at a complete loss.

I have several other functions in the same Class...using Stored Procedures on the same table....returning data back into the same datatype.  Why this one is throwing a fit is beyond me.  Nothing about it stands out.

Help?

I am glad you found the answer and made a post to help others.

I am curious, not criticizing, do you have plans to use DotNetNuke 4? When using these methods:

Setting-up the Environment (using IIS)

Setting-up the Environment (without IIS)

The PA packager packages everything.
