[Mono-docs-list] Status of documentation and docstub

[Joe Betz]

Hi, I get an error saying:


Unhandled Exception: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not
set to
an instance of an object.
   at Mono.Util.DocStub.Write()
   at Mono.Util.DocStub.MakeXml()
   at Mono.Util.DocStub..ctor(String[] args)
   at Mono.Util.DocStub.Main(String[] args)

When I run the docstub tool.  I compiled on windows,  I'm looking for
any errors in the source that might cause this but don't know too much
about C Sharp and haven't found any yet.
