FEZ Raptor - USB Host with netmf 4.3 Exception

Attached code shows the problem. I have no idea what is going on or how to correct it.

I must mention that the VS 2012 Express For Desktop on Windows 8.1 was installed after my recent purchase of Visual Studio 2013 Pro. I had removed all Express versions I had before installing 2013 Pro. After it was installed I downloaded and installed it Express 2012.

I only mention this because debugging seems a bit different than when I only had the VS 2012 Express.

It appears to me that VS 2012 Express For Desktop is somehow tied into my Full version of 2013 Pro. Maybe not but I think so…

Thanks for any thoughts on why I get this null exception

EDIT:
I forgot to mention that if I have button events… And use Controller

Controller.DeviceConnectFailed += Controller_DeviceConnectFailed;
Controller.Start();

I no longer receive the events…

@ willgeorge - That was a bug that has been fixed for the next release. You can try to use USB Host without the Gadgeteer module in the designer if you need to work around the exception.

@ John -

Thank you for the quick reply!
