System.NullReferenceException - Object reference not set to an instance of an object

I've finally got XNA to cooperate with using the DLLs, (thanks for the post on another thread RBW) but now I'm getting the below error when I'm trying to run the Build.

System.NullReferenceException - Object reference not set to an instance of an object

with this section of code highlighted (where the ** are):

 protected override void LoadContent()
        {
            // Create a new SpriteBatch, which can be used to draw textures.
            spriteBatch = new SpriteBatch(GraphicsDevice);
            levelSet = Content.Load<LevelSet>("Level");
                **currentLevel = levelSet.GetLevel("Level").CreateInstance();**
            // TODO: use this.Content to load your game content here
        }

am i mising?

Figured it out.

I was misreading the tutorial - the String in currentLevel must be unique from the Level content name for XNA to instantiate seperately.

Kind of obvious, but it took me a while to figure it out.
