Question

I have noticed a problem with Twitterizer in that it’s has been working fine until my client added a tweet to her account containing an image powered by Photobucket.

Then we started getting the Object reference error above. It’s taken a an hour or two to determine that it was actually the tweet causing the issue which I’ve now removed however how can I get round this problem?

My code is below which is a very basic solution for pulling the time line in:

OAuthTokens tokens = new OAuthTokens();
tokens.AccessToken = AccessToken;
tokens.AccessTokenSecret = AccessTokenSecret;
tokens.ConsumerKey = ConsumerKey;
tokens.ConsumerSecret = ConsumerSecret;

try
{
  UserTimelineOptions opts = new UserTimelineOptions();
  opts.IncludeRetweets = false;
  opts.UseSSL = true;
  opts.Count = 5;

  /* Throws Exception -> */ TwitterResponse<TwitterStatusCollection> timeLine =  TwitterTimeline.UserTimeline(tokens, opts);
  uxTweets.DataSource = timeLine.ResponseObject;
  uxTweets.DataBind();
}
catch
{
  uxError.Text = "<p class=\"p1\">Twitter isn't configured correctly. Twitter is not responding.</p>";
}

Answer 1

I had been having this problem. Downgrading Newtonsoft.json.dll to 4.3.* fixed the problem for me.
