Hi Vulpes,

I am getting null error.

Anyway thanks allot.

It is working now with Jignesh Idea.

Are you getting an exception or is 'value' still null?

If it is null, then are you sure that there is currently a selected item in the combobox?

Hi Vulpes,

After changing modifier to "Public" also, it is not working.


Thanks

Darma

Hi Vulpes,

you are right. It applies in 2nd point.
The combobox hasn't been placed directly on the form but is inside some container such as a panel or groupbox.


Actually it is in TAB and groupbox.

But I changed those two controls modifiers as "public"


Thanks,

Darma

That suggests one of the following:

1. The exact name of the combobox isn't comboBox1; or

2. The combobox hasn't been placed directly on the form but is inside some container such as a panel or groupbox.

Does either of these ring a bell?

Hi Vulpes,

Thanks for the reply.

I am getting error at: ComboBox cb1 = (ComboBox)frm1.Controls["comboBox1"]; 

this is the error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.


Thanks,

Darma
