Hello, I am trying to read the values of a chackboxes that I have manually added to a datagrid. I always get an System.NullReferenceException as an error message.
The code that I use to read the value of the checkbox is: Sub UpdateOrdersListDatabase() Dim orders As OrdersDB = New ASPNetPortal.OrdersDB() Dim i As Integer For i = 0 To MyList.Items.Count - 1 Dim SendOrder As CheckBox = CType(MyList.Items(i).FindControl("SendOrder"), CheckBox) Dim MyReleaseOrder As CheckBox = CType(MyList.Items(i).FindControl ("ReleaseOrder"), CheckBox) If MyReleaseOrder.Checked = True Then If SendOrder.Checked = True Then ... The interesting thing is, that the NullException just occurs with the field I manually added to the datagrid. The field SendOrder is added in the html template and no error occurs. In the html source of the loaded page, both checkboxes are looking equal and both are having an id. The code that I used to add the checkbox as a new column in the datagrid is the sam as on the microsoft msdn page: Sub CreateOrdersList() Dim orders As OrdersDB = New ASPNetPortal.OrdersDB() MyList.DataSource = orders.GetAllOrders() Dim tcol As New TemplateColumn() With tcol .HeaderText = "Bestellung freigeben" .ItemTemplate = New DynamicItemTemplate() End With MyList.Columns.Add(tcol) MyList.DataBind() If MyList.Items.Count = 0 Then MyError.Text = "Es sind keine weiteren Bestellungen eingegangen." MyList.Visible = False End If End Sub End Class Public Class DynamicItemTemplate Implements ITemplate Public Overridable Overloads Sub InstantiateIn(ByVal container As Control) Implements ITemplate.InstantiateIn Dim oCheckBox As CheckBox = New CheckBox() oCheckBox.ID = "ReleaseOrder" AddHandler oCheckBox.DataBinding, AddressOf BindCheckBox container.Controls.Add(oCheckBox) End Sub Public Sub BindCheckBox(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Dim oCheckBox As CheckBox = CType(sender, CheckBox) Dim container As DataGridItem = CType (oCheckBox.NamingContainer, DataGridItem) If container.DataItem("StatusID") = "1" Then oCheckBox.Checked = False Else oCheckBox.Checked = True End If End Sub End Class You can read messages from the Advanced DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from Advanced DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
