Getting error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

Help

I reading outlook emails using “Get Outlook Email Message” then sorting them by date(emails.OrderBy(Function(x) DateTime.Parse(x.Headers(“Date”).ToString)).ToList)
getting this error.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Silly question but, did you check if emails is not null before doing the sorting?

That error is returned when trying to do something with a null/empty variable

Can help me in this question?

Did you try checking that Headers("Date") is returning data?

Also, try assing that (without the .ToList) to a variable of type Object. If the error doesn’t ocurr, it may be that the .OrderBy is not returning results, so the .ToList won’t work.

That error is telling you that you can’t do what you are trying with an empty variable.
