Remove data frame

DavidBarlow — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 18:03:53 GMT

Can somebody please tell me how to remove a data frame from an mxd from a stand alone program. I would prefer if it were in c# but VB is fine too. I am trying to use ImxDocument but keep getting the error telling me Object reference not set. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

public Boolean DeleteDataFrame(string strDataFrameName)
        {
            IMxDocument iMxDoc = (IMxDocument) ArcMap.Application.Document;
            ICommandBars iBar = ArcMap.Application.Document.CommandBars;
            ICommandItem iItem;
            UID uUID = new UIDClass();
            try
            {
                for (int x = 0; iMxDoc.Maps.Count > x; x++)
