SharePoint 2010 question.

My 1st goal is to add some custom themes to site collections when they're created. I have this working with a simple 2 feature stapling solution (Themes.Feature, Staple.Feature). For now it's stapled to just STS#0.

When I create a new STS#0 site collection, it has the 2 custom themes.

Now I want to extend this and set the theme of the root web to one of the custom themes.

I added a feature receiver to the Themes.Feature and deployed with no code modifications (i.e. the .CS file has just the commented out template code). Now when I create a new Site Collection I get this error: Object reference is not set to an instance of an object. And the Site Collection is not created.

Is it possible to use a feature receiver like this?

Thanks in advance.
