LinqResult.Any() Resulting In NullReferenceException

Question

What could be causing this error:

NullReferenceException was unhanded, Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

var LinqResult = 
from a in Db.Table
select new {Table = a};

if(LinqResult.Any())
{
    //Blah blah blah
}

Answer 1

My guess is that either Db or Db.Table has not yet been instantiated at the point of execution of that query. Can you post any additional code for context?

Answer 2

Most likely either Db or Db.Table are null.

Answer 3

It is probably that Db is null. The exception happens when you do the .Any(), but this is because of defered execution.

Answer 4

The Db.Table value is null.

It is not Db being null as other people have suggested. Else the exception would have occured on the actual query.
