System.NullReferenceException

Hi,
        Can you share that particular aspx code where this error is occurred?

Generally you can see this error if you make a coding error.  For example, if you try to perform an operation of any kind on an object that was never instantiated in the code.  A basic example would be if I declare an object but never create an instance of it and then try to do something with that object.

For example, if I declare SomeClass myObject; and then I do something to it like myObject.GetDimension();  Since I never created the object (e.g., SomeClass myObject = new SomeClass();) the code will throw the exception.

Another example is in cases where you might populate an object using a method that might not always create an instance of that object.  For example, SomeClass myObject = SomeClass.PopulateMyObject();  If PopulateMyObject does not always set the object to an instance of an object and then you try to do something with that object (say, myObject.ToString();, it will throw the exception.

The easiest way around seeing this error is to check to see if the object you tried to create is null before you attempt to perform any operations on it:

if(myObject != null)
{
        // then do what you need to do with the object
}
else
{
        // treat is like an error or do something else that will not throw the error
}

Hi Sudarshan,

This is being caused by a server side operation.

You're trying to assign a variable with a null value. if it's happening some times then there may be some db operations or it completely depends on your logic laid out by you. Please share your code for more help.
