am inserting this data using gridview footer add button

When you step through and get to this line, can you check that all of your objects are populated?
e.g. 'ddlEquipmenttype.SelectedItem', 'ddlMaker.SelectedItem' and 'con'
Dont forget to check all your text boxes as well.

Also, I would recommend restructuring your command you use parameters.

please can you show me how to do that, am trying a lot. please help thanks

Now you have solution to the problem, I would also suggest reading this link:

http://csharp-station.com/Tutorial/AdoDotNet/Lesson06

It is an explanation of how to use parameters in an SQL query instead of the approach you have used. It is much safer!

Please Check these lines of your codes :-

C#
DropDownList ddlEquipmenttype = (DropDownList)GridView1.FooterRow.FindControl("ddlftrEquipment_type");
            DropDownList ddlMaker = (DropDownList)GridView1.FooterRow.FindControl("ddlftrMaker");
            TextBox txtModel = (TextBox)GridView1.FooterRow.FindControl("txtftrModel");
            TextBox txtSerialno = (TextBox)GridView1.FooterRow.FindControl("txtftrSerialno");
            TextBox txtKKIATagNo = (TextBox)GridView1.FooterRow.FindControl("txtftrKKIATagNo");
            TextBox txtGACATagNo = (TextBox)GridView1.FooterRow.FindControl("GACATagNo");
            TextBox txtAssignedto = (TextBox)GridView1.FooterRow.FindControl("txtftrAssignedto");
            TextBox txtLocation = (TextBox)GridView1.FooterRow.FindControl("txtftrLocation");


Check whether you are finding all controls properly. check the Id of your control which you are finding. May be any of these control is not getting found.


Good luck.

Welcome!
You did not show where the exception with the message "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" is thrown.

Not to worry. This is one of the very easiest cases to detect and fix. It simply means that some member/variable of some reference type is dereferenced by using and of its instance (non-static) members, which requires this member/variable to be non-null, but in fact it appears to be null. Simply execute it under debugger, it will stop the execution where the exception is thrown. Put a break point on that line, restart the application and come to this point again. Evaluate all references involved in next line and see which one is null while it needs to be not null. After you figure this out, fix the code: either make sure the member/variable is properly initialized to a non-null reference, or check it for null and, in case of null, do something else.

Please see also: want to display next record on button click. but got an error in if condition of next record function "object reference not set to an instance of an object"[^].

Good luck,
—SA
