IndexOutOfRangeException and NullReferenceException in MVC 5 Controller - c#

For the project I am working on we use a controller called "MediaDepot". This controller handles all requests for files on the server such as images.
The datamodel checks if the user has access to the file via the session object. The controller gets the session as a readonly dictionary.
Below a sample of our controller:
[SessionState(System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateBehavior.ReadOnly)]
public class MediaDepotController : AsyncController
{
[OutputCache(Location = System.Web.UI.OutputCacheLocation.Client, Duration = 10, VaryByParam = "Hash;Width;Height;ImageID")]
public ActionResult Get(string Hash, int Width, int Height, int ImageID)
{
ActualRequest aRequest = new ActualRequest(Request, Response as HttpResponseWrapper, ControllerContext, HttpContext, Session);
MediaDepotResult result = MediaDepot.MediaDepot.Instance.GetFilePathOfImageItem(aRequest, Hash, Width, Height, ImageID);
var File = Server.MapPath(result.FilePath);
return base.File(File, result.FileType);
}
On the production server the session object will sometimes refuse to load throwing out IndexOutOfRangeException or NullReferenceException on all requests from the client with that session.

I know this is a concurrency issue with the session object in mvc but how can it be prevented? And is there a better solution to serve files to the end user without linking to the files directly?

The view 'Search' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations

public ActionResult Search(string name)

var movie = db.Movies.Where(x => x.Title.Contains(name)).FirstOrDefault();

I am trying to create a search parameter to pull the data from a table I have created in c#. Running the application takes me to localhost:xxxx, which shows me the entire table. I want localhost:xxxx/movies/search/man to pull my data with that string inside of it.

It appears as though you have not got a view for this to render onto.
To add a view (presuming you are using ASP-MVC is to go into your views folder, add a "Movies" folder (if one does not exist) and add a Search.cshtml file under that folder, here's an example:
This answer is a response to the stack trace that you have provided, this doesn't seem related to the title - reading the stack trace it does not seem like Linq is the issue here.
Hope this helps
public ActionResult Search(string name)
{
if (string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(name))
{
return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
}
var movies = db.Movies.Where(x => x.Title.Contains(name)).ToList();
if (movies == null)
{
return HttpNotFound();
}
return View("index", movies);
}
Thank you for your insight. It was a problem with the view. I wasn't pointing to anything. For my purposes, I just pointed back to what I am using as my index.

Entity Framework Code First migrations broken on server

I am currently having issues with Entity Framework in specific with regards to code first migrations. They were working fine on both my test database and on our server but obviously I have changed something that is causing them to not migrate to the most recent version on our Server. I've looked at the __migrations table in the database and it doesn't have my most recent change. From the stack trace below it looks like the framework is trying to recreate the database completely from scratch.
[InvalidOperationException: The model backing the 'CustomerContext' context has changed since the database was created. Consider using Code First Migrations to update the database (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=238269).]

Object reference not set to an instance of an object when connecting to oracle [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
What is a NullReferenceException, and how do I fix it?
(27 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I am trying to make a connection to oracle database using ASP .net. I have added oracle client extension, but the problem is when I try to connect I get
Object reference not set to an instance of an object
public string OracleConnString(string host, string port, string servicename, string user, string pass)
{
return String.Format(
"Data Source=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST={0})" +
"(PORT={1}))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME={2})));User Id={3};Password={4};",
host,
port,
servicename,
user,
pass);
}
and my connect code
String connectionstring = OracleConnString("xxx", "1521", "xxx", "xxx", "xxx");
OracleConnection conn = new OracleConnection(connectionstring);
conn.Open();
the problem is in conn.open()
this is a detailed stack trace

Thanks for any help!
[] means an Array, which means a series of objects of the given type. There are some specifics as to how this works in-memory, but these specifics only serve to differentiate it from other collection types.
In this case, you need to figure out why you're trying to pass multiple packages, and you might have to simply pass the first element instead via array[0] where array is the name of the variable being reported as an array type.
