Object created, but for some reason throwing an NRE when adding to a list

Question

I have declared this list:

public ObservableCollection<Order> Orders { get; set; }

and then tried to create an object and add it to the list here:

Order curOrder = new Order(method, category, surchargeYesRadio.Checked, double.Parse(numTxt.Text));
Orders.Add(curOrder);

but for some strange reason, on the second line, it's throwing a null reference exception and breaking the program. I looked at my local variables and it shows it as having set values and everything. A screenshot is below:

Why a NullReferenceException?

Thanks in advance. I'm really confused.

Are you sure `Orders` is initialized and not null? – The Scrum Meister Mar 07 '15 at 23:30 — The Scrum Meister, Mar 07 '15 at 23:30
Thanks. Sometimes these things are so obvious. -_- – Ethan Brouwer Mar 07 '15 at 23:31 — Ethan Brouwer, Mar 07 '15 at 23:31

Probably it is Orders that is null, not curOrder.
