Objetc reference not set to instance of an object

[Jason Salas]

This is the .NET error I hate the worst: "Object reference not set to an
instance of an object."

Anyone got any ideas why I would be properly instantiating a custom class I
wrote, and I still get the above error?

NewsStory item = new
NewsStory(Request.Form["fname"].Trim(),Request.Form["lname"].Trim(),Request.
Form["age"].Trim());

The funny thing is, the default constructor I defined for the class uses the
above signature, requiring those 3 parameters. So, I wrote a simpler
constructor as a test:

// the code
public class NewsStory
{
public NewsStory()
{}
}

....and tried instantiating that one in code:

NewsStory item = new NewsStory();

....and it worked perfectly.

Got any fixes?
