I'm trying to generate a password reset token using the following:

Dim resetToken As String
Dim options As New IdentityFactoryOptions(Of UserManager)

manager.UserTokenProvider = New DataProtectorTokenProvider(Of ApplicationUser)(options.DataProtectionProvider.Create("PasswordReset"))

resetToken = manager.GeneratePasswordResetToken(user.Id)

I receive an error:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

on the highlighted piece of code. I simply cannot figure out why as the examples I've researched are identical.

    I know I have old eyes but which line of code is "highlighted"? – Mary Mar 16 '18 at 02:20
  • You know, the "highlighted piece"... Also this has been answered many times. – Trevor Mar 16 '18 at 02:21

  • Well, start a debugger and find out which of the objects are null and see why they are null. – trailmax Mar 16 '18 at 10:56
