The parameter that was supposed to tell the caller which parameter was null! Laugh | :laugh:

public class Naerling : Lazy<Person>{
    public void DoWork(){ throw new NotImplementedException(); }

Assuming the function's contract calls for a non-null parameter, I would throw an ArgumentNullException instead of the more general ReferenceNullException.
