EDIT: The problem happened to be the jQuery-Mobile library that removed my file when i was doing a postback. I still have no idea why, but I'm trying to make a custom jQuery-Mobile library now to see what causes my problem.
I'm trying to make a form where people can upload their resumé and send it to me, but I'm having some issues with it. I'm sending the form to the backend, to the method SendJobMail and everything gets read out, except for the content from the FileUpload.
I tried adding breakpoints and it'll break at this line:
string attachmentFilename = Path.GetFileName(CVUpload.PostedFile.FileName);
It gives me the following error message:
System.NullReferenceException was unhandled by user code
HResult=-2147467261
Message=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I also tried changing the FileUpload but to this, but that didn't work either:
<label>Selecteer uw CV</label>
<asp:FileUpload runat="server" ID="CVUpload" />
.
Here is my current code:
