I can get some properties of the Application class, but not others.
Specifically, I can't get the following properties of the Application class
in VB.NET:

    CommonAppDataPath
    LocalUserAppDataPath
    UserAppDataPath
    CompanyName
    ProductName
    ProductVersion

When I try I get the following exception:

    Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Yet the documentation says you can't instantiate this class - its static.
And the documentation on the Application class doesn't cover this (or any)
error.

My AssemblyInfo.vb defines the necessary variables.

I'm running Windows XP home.

I figure it must be something simple I'm doing wrong, but I just can't
figure out what it could be.

Any ideas?

Don,

Make sure the casing of your Sub Main method is "Main", and not "main"
or "MAIN" or something else. Due to a bug in the Application class, it
has to be "Main".

That was it!  I had used "main". I didn't believe the fix until I tried it.
Now I get all those properties without a problem.

Many thanks Mattias!
