Hi ,


I ran into this error when receiving a message.
The other party in this case is using a self sign cert.
The message is also base64-encoded and digitally signed.

The service content seems to be ok because was validated individually.
Really appreciate your advice and help. Thanks.

The error that I got from biztalk is as follows:

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an

Do you have a promoted property (or distinguished field) that is null, and
am trying to reference it?

Hi Eric,

Found out it was due to a poor coding in the custom validator.
It's solved now.

Thanks for your advice.
