Help Needed: “Object reference not set to an instance of an object” Error in Visual Studio

Hey Dev community!

I’m excited to be joining this platform and reaching out for some assistance. I’m relatively new to coding and have been exploring Visual Studio for my projects. However, I’ve recently encountered an issue that has me stumped.

Every time I try to run a new query in Visual Studio, Visual Studio throws an error: “Object reference not set to an instance of an object.” I’ve tried to troubleshoot it myself by searching online, but I’m not quite grasping the solution.

Could someone please shed some light on what this error means and how I can go about fixing it? Any guidance or tips would be greatly appreciated!

Looking forward to being a part of this community and learning from all of you.

Thanks in advance!
