How to understand System.NullReferenceException, Object reference not set to an instance of an object - level 200

You probably get this error message more than others, and the cause is that a variable is used in code, but that variable doesn't contain a reference to any object in memory. If you try to call .ToString() on an object, and your variable is null, you'll get this exception. Sometimes it can be hard to...
