The method that use the settings file :
private bool GetBool(string keyname)
{
string radiobutton1 = optionsfile.GetKey(keyname);
bool b;
bool.TryParse(radiobutton1.Trim(), out b);
return b;
}
The exception is on the radiobutton1 because the settings.txt file is not exist.
The optionsfile at the top of the form1
private OptionsFile optionsfile = new OptionsFile(Path.GetDirectoryName(Application.LocalUserAppDataPath) "\\Settings.txt");
and the class OptionsFile and inside there i check first thing for the file if exist or not. so i'm doing something wrong. because if i'm checking it in the OptionsFile class why would i need to check if it's existing also in all the other places ?
a bit messed.

CodePudding user response：
The file exist.
The value of keyname doesn't exist in the file.
This causes optionesfile.GetKey(keyname) to return null.
To prefent the error and still returning a valid value, check the radiobutton1 if it is null and assign an initial value to b.
private bool GetBool(string keyname)
{
string radiobutton1 = optionsfile.GetKey(keyname);
bool b = false; // set initial value;
if( radiobutton /* != null */ )
bool.TryParse(radiobutton1.Trim(), out b);
return b;
}
