error occurred in deployment step 'recycle iis application pool' :object reference not set to an instance of an object


While deploying using Visual studio, we may get an error "error occurred in deployment step 'recycle iis application pool' :object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Solution:
 Don't get  panic ..Simply restart the visual studio with the solution which you wanted to deploy on to the site

This may help some one.

Thank you. Could not figure out what the problem was. Started happening after I migrated a project to a new solution.

@praveen Battula: i have gone through your link now.but i checked all those scenarios when i got this issue. Every thing was fine. One thing we should know is, Microsoft never releases its product as fully tested product. It always does user acceptance test. I am not telling this is a SOLUTION. But you can consider it as 'a solution from a lazy person'..:P

Anyways thank you for you post.Keep updating your blog. Move on :)
