Null Reference Exception

[lalibi]

I get a Null Reference Exception, possibly due to the BrowserLink feature in the new Visual Studio (it seems route.DataTokens is null in a route generated by BrowserLink).

I downloaded the code and added a quick fix. I should probably do a pull request, but I am not entirely sure this is the proper way to solve it:

// If there's no controller specified, we need to check if it's in an area
if (!route.Defaults.ContainsKey("controller"))
{
    // Added this line here:
    if (route.DataTokens == null)
        return false;

    // Not an area, so it's a "regular" default route
    if (!route.DataTokens.ContainsKey("area"))
        return true;

    // Exposing all routes, or an area that's explicitly whitelisted
    if (_configuration.ExposeAllRoutes || _areaWhitelist.Contains(route.DataTokens["area"]))
        return true;

    // In an area that's not exposed, so this route shouldn't be exposed.
    return false;
}

A small update, after some research. It might not be BrowserLink's fault after all but Glimpse's, and its use of Castle.Proxies.RouteProxy that causes issues.

Thanks, it's probably a good idea to check if DataTokens is null before trying to use it. Do you have a small sample that replicates the issue? Please attach a ZIP with a project to replicate it :)

Thanks for your bug report, I've fixed this in 1.1.5.

Sorry for the late response. Thanks for your time.
