Are you referencing that form in another page?

|
|

Yes, I'm linking to it from a button click.

Normally, this error happens when you have a naming conflict and you have to resolve that by either choosing another name or using the qualified name.

Hello,
I am trying to create a ItemTemplate at runtime for a ComponentArt
Grid.
This GridView works in a very similar way to the Asp.Net 2.0 GridView
so the implementation method should be the same.
When I don't use the ItemTemplate everything works fine.
However, when I use the ItemTemplate I get the following error:
"Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference
not set to an instance of an object."
On the code line
lCollaborator.Text = tcCollaborator.DataItem("Name").ToString &
tcCollaborator.DataItem("City").ToString
I think my problem is really the binding method.
Could someone please tell me what might be wrong? I also tried using
the Asp.Net 2.0 GridView and I am getting the same problems.
I post my VB.NET code. Please, fell free to answer in VB.NET or C#.

Thank You Very Much,

IMO, it should be easier if you tell which line is causing the NullReferenceException, and I guess that you can debug to see which object that you use is null.
|

Hi,
sure. I just debugged and I get an error in the following line:
lCollaborator.Text = "Name: " & tcCollaborator.DataItem("Name").ToString
I though it was because of tcCollaborator.DataItem("Name").ToString
But now I replaced this line by the following and I don't get any error:
Dim a As String = tcCollaborator.DataItem("Name")
Of course I don't see anything in my grid.
Now I am confused. 
Any idea?
Thanks,
Miguel

Okay, now it's much clearer and I guess I know the reason  . Here, it's clear that the tcCollaborator.DataItem("Name") object is null, and that throws the exception when you use the ToString method of the null object. The reason this object is null is that you are trying to get the data object bound to the container using the DataItem property, and basically it only has value after data is bound to the control, but here you put your code in the InstantiateIn method which occurs before the data binding happens. So you can use the DataBinding event of the lCollaborator object and put your code to query the data item and set the Text property in the event handler

Hi,
I read carefully what you wrote and I got the same error after making a few changes to my code.
This is what I did:
' InstantiateIn
Public Sub InstantiateIn(ByVal container As Control) Implements ITemplate.InstantiateIn
' Define template container
Dim tcCollaborator As ComponentArt.Web.UI.GridServerTemplateContainer = CType(container, ComponentArt.Web.UI.GridServerTemplateContainer)
' Add lCollaborator data binding handler
AddHandler lCollaborator.DataBinding, AddressOf lCollaborator_DataBinding
' Add item template child controls
container.Controls.Add(lCollaborator)
End Sub ' InstantiateIn
' lCollaborator_DataBinding
Private Sub lCollaborator_DataBinding(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
' Create and define lCollaborator
Dim lCollaborator As Label = CType(sender, Label)
' Create and define lNews container
Dim container As ComponentArt.Web.UI.GridServerTemplateContainer = CType(lCollaborator.NamingContainer, ComponentArt.Web.UI.GridServerTemplateContainer)
' Define lCollaborator text
lCollaborator.Text = "Name: " & container.DataItem("Name").ToString
End Sub ' lCollaborator_DataBinding
Any idea? I am completely out of ideas ...
Thanks,
Miguel

Now, you might want to debug to see what the container.DataItem("Name") contains. Does it really have any column/property named "Name"?
|
|
|
|

Hi,
To be honest I am not able to debug and see what is inside container.DataItem("Name").
However, in the code I posted I have the function which creates the DataTable:
Public Shared Function Collaborators() As DataTable
' Create collaborators data table
Dim dtCollaborators As New DataTable
' Add columns to collaborators data table
With dtCollaborators.Columns
.Add(New DataColumn("Name", GetType(String)))
.Add(New DataColumn("Mobile", GetType(String)))
.Add(New DataColumn("Email", GetType(String)))
.Add(New DataColumn("City", GetType(String)))
End With
' Create and add a new collaborator row
Dim drRow01 As DataRow
drRow01 = dtCollaborators.NewRow
' Define collaborator row values
drRow01("Name") = "John"
drRow01("Mobile") = "983498223"
drRow01("Email") = "john@mydomain.com"
drRow01("City") = "New York"
' Add row to collaborators data table
dtCollaborators.Rows.Add(drRow01)
' Create and add a new collaborator row
Dim drRow02 As DataRow
drRow02 = dtCollaborators.NewRow
' Define collaborator row values
drRow02("Name") = "Andrew"
drRow02("Mobile") = "983498223"
drRow02("Email") = "andrew@mydomain.com"
drRow02("City") = "Paris"
' Add row to collaborators data table
dtCollaborators.Rows.Add(drRow02)
' Return collaborators data table
Return dtCollaborators
End Function ' Collaborators
It seems ok, right?
What should I do? How can I see what is inside container.DataItem("Name") as you mentioned?
Thank You,
Miguel

Just curious why you cannot debug the code? Anyway, you need to write some information to the web page ( simply using the Response object) or a log file to investigate which type of the container.DataItem object. Is it the DataRowView? Can you then also try to cast something like CType(container.DataItem, DataRowView)("Name").ToString()?

What do you mean by 'use' ? You can show bitmaps in your form, whatever they are.

Why even bother with an array? It's just an extra step to the database.

Looking for a free web service to verify names against social security numbers

You have to be kidding.  
|
|
|
|
|
I didn't know that was a joke
If you need to verify a name what would you do?
|
|
|
|
|
So, you somehow believe that there is a service that will give you the SS# when a name is entered?
|
|
|
|
|
No Ed.
Provide both a name and SSN for a boolean match.
|
|
|
|
|
Again, don't you think this would be a huge security risk?

I have a My.BusinessLogicObjects.dll that I am updating on a server.
The file is in my bin folder and I have registerd it in COM+ and added it in C:\WINNT\assembly.
Noe when I open my web page and go to a page that uses this dll, I get this error message:
loadSubPage failed trying to load '~/My/Web/campaign.ascx'. Error loading latest campaign items. CoCreateInstance returned an unexpected type: expected My.BusinessLogicObjects.Product, received My.BusinessLogicObjects.Product. () : at My.Web.Catalog.Controls.Campaigns.campaignItems.listLatestCampaignItems() at My.Web.Catalog.Controls.Campaigns.campaign.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.OnLoad(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.AddedControl(Control control, Int32 index) at System.Web.UI.ControlCollection.Add(Control child) at My.Web.GUI.Controls.index.loadSubPage()
So it's asking for my old My.BusinessLogicObjects.dll
This is odd, since other pages that is new, and uses new methods that I have on the new My.BusinessLogicObjects.dll works fine.
This is what I have tryed:
- Moved My.BusinessLogicObjects.dll to another folder and registerd it from there, gave same result.
- Reinstalled the dot net framework 1.1, gave same result.
- Not registerd it on C:\WINNT\assembly, gave same result.
Does anyone had this problem before, or know how to fix this?
Please help
Thomas
