Hello
I designed a form to add sub-category depends on user select from Main categroy (dropdownlist)
A gridview designed depends on that video GRIDVIEW (CRUD):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pH7E-GM8HjE
when I insert item a fiest error is:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I anlyising the suppoose error maybe from Id field because maybe be empty.
I designe a new column in gridview to pass value from dropdownlist depends on (Autopostpack) property like these:
Literal txtid = (Literal)gvsubcat.FooterRow.FindControl(
"TBF_footer"
);
txtid = RadioButtonList1.SelectedItem.Text;
the error is cannot implicity convert type string to system.web.UI.webcontrol.Literal
so there is a new way to solve that mistake. Iam searched long time to solve it, but nothing
here a source code:
