OK - I'm doing a genuine search on

llblgen 2.6 ReadXml "object reference not set"

In google I get some 2700 results, many MANY of which are from a site called codeinspot.com and are useless.

In Bing I get one result - and it's not useless, but doesn't help.

Question is - is this the same for you? and how have codeinspot.com managed to hijack Goodle like this?

Now, back to trying to find out why LLBLGen is crashing on me!

Same. Will look at the source of those pages later to see if keyword stuffing is in effect.

I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We've created life in our own image.

Try the search without the "2.6". Does that help?

This[^] search result (#1 in Google's results) seems to address your original problem.

Thanks - yep I did find that page, and it kind of helped - I was curious about the other stuff clogging Google, though.

(incidentally, with the LLBLGen problem, I have the latest dlls from v2.6 AFAIK and still get thte exception - the good news is that the exception seems to be thrown post - instantiating the object tree from the XML so I can probably ignore it!

With Bing, the first result is your post here. Smile | :)

only one other link...

Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

There are a few obnoxious sites like that (I won't mention them here to avoid giving them any publicity).
They modify the first part of their domain name to fit search results. Apparently using different URLs (with no relation to the search result) has the same effect on Google.

E.g.: if it were CP, if you were to Google for "CListCtrl", the site returns clistctrl.codeproject.com, which generally contains a list of BS results or links to other sites (some of which may be genuine).

I use personal blocklist[^] to keep them away (Google's built-in block doesn't work on such sites due to the different addresses)
