“Object reference not set to an instance of an object” when calling SPFarm.Local

Posted on February 9, 2011 by Bernado

If you are getting “Object reference not set to an instance of an object” when calling SPFarm.Local in a stand-alone app (e.g. console app), and you are developing against SharePoint 2010, then check that your project is set to target x64 or Any CPU. Setting it to target x86 (which is the default in VS 2010) will give you that error.
