KML generation exception error

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I set up an oracle connection with what looks to me like valid info all 
around. It has mappings and a single icon, no description. I saved the 
connection and backed out to Main.aspx. I clicked the Generate KML button, 
and I got the error message "There was an exception generating KML." I didn't 
know what to do about this, so I tried changing some stuff, saved, and tried 
to generate the KML again and got the same error message. It's not helpful.

Suggestion: report something about what is not allowing the KML generation to 
work, e.g. can't connect to db, invalid table/column, bad condition, bad 
lat/long/placemark, etc. Something to point them in the right direction.

When description was null, it freaked out KMLGenerator. Populate fields now sets
Description to an empty string before it pulls information from the database. 
This
way if nothing is in the database, it will be an empty string not null

Still doesn't show a descriptive message. See the other issue I sent you and 
I'll
look into it.
