Hi,
I'm developing a gridview its datasource is SqlDataSource. one of the Grid item is asp:Hyperlink ID = "lnkTopicTitle" , I wanna deal with this Hyperlink from the C# code behind to send a parameter with the NavigateURL property. -
protected void grdTopicArch_DataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)
-
{
-
HyperLink lnkTopicTitle = (HyperLink)grdTopicArch.FindControl("lnkTopicTitle");
-
lnkTopicTitle.NavigateUrl = "~/ChurchSubjs/ArchiveTopics.aspx";
-
}
-
I tried this code also with: - protected void lnkTopicTitle_DataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)
-
But i got this error
System.NullRefe renceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
In this line:
lnkTopicTitle.N avigateUrl = "~/ChurchSubjs/ArchiveTopics.a spx";
Any Ideas

Line 3 makes a hyperlink named "lnkTopicTi tle" based on the results of a .FindControl()
Line 4 uses that hyperlink.
So... What would happen if line 3 wasn't able to find any controls matching your search? It's result would be null. Null would be assigned to lnkTopicTitle. Thus lnkTopicTitle would not have been assigned to an object, which is your error.
Try putting a breakpoint on line 4. This will let you check the values of your variables before the line executes.
You want to get into the habit of assuming that everything is going to fail and be different than what you expect. Add enough error compensation and checking to handle failures. In this case something like... - if (lnkTopicTitle != null)
-
{
-
// do your thing here
-
}

Could you please post the ASP code for your GridView (specifically the <columns> section).
Yes I know, when i tried to put a break point , i found that lnkTopicTitle holds Null value, but i tried using FindControl() before and it was wotking very good.
I don't know why it gives me this null !!!

Is the "sender" parameter in this method the HyperLink itself?
Why don't you just set the NavaigateUrl directly in your asp code: -
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Title" SortExpression="TopicTitle">
-
<ItemTemplate>
-
<asp:HyperLink
-
ID="lnkTopicTitle"
-
runat="server"
-
Text='<%# Eval("TopicTitle") %>'
-
NavigateUrl = "~/ChurchSubjs/ArchiveTopics.aspx">
-
</asp:HyperLink>
-
</ItemTemplate>
-
<HeaderStyle Font-Bold="True" Width="200px" />
-
</asp:TemplateField>
-
I wanna send the parameter encrypted, like this:
lnkTopicTitle.N avigateUrl = "~/ChurchSubjs/ArchiveTopics.a spx?tid="+ Encryption.Encr ypt(sdsWeeklyTo pic.SelectComma nd[0].ToString())

.FindControl() has a couple overrides. One includes a bool telling the method whether or not to search child controls. So for example you could have it search just a panel... or the panel and all the controls placed on the panel such as tab pages etc.
Maybe when you first tested it, it worked on your testing control, but then you placed that on a panel, into a tab control, onto a page... somehow you nested it but you aren't looking inside the right control collection, so you get are getting null back now where you didn't before.
Hi,
You can find control on rowdatabound not in databinding. -
protected void gvdata_RowDataBound(object sender, GridViewRowEventArgs e)
-
{
-
if (e.Row.RowType == DataControlRowType.DataRow)
-
{
-
HyperLink lnkTopicTitle = (HyperLink)e.Row.Cells[1].FindControl("hyper");
-
Response.Write(lnkTopicTitle.NavigateUrl);
-
Response.End();
-
//if (lnkTopicTitle != null)
-
//{
-
-
-
// lnkTopicTitle.NavigateUrl = "~/default.aspx";
-
//}
-
}
-
}

You know, I have a feeling that you don't need to use the FindControl method because I think that the "sender" parameter is the hyperlink......
I could be completely wrong here but please check it out.

Hello =)
I have an object which contains a method that should execute every x ms. I
can use setInterval inside the object construct like this -
self.setInterval('ObjectName.methodName()', this.pinginterval);
- but is there no way to do this without using the literal ObjectName? If I
write 'this.methodName()' I get "Line 1 Char 1: Object doesn't support this
property or method." in IE, and nothing happens in Firebird.

I'd like to be able to get the name of an object instance from within
a call to a method of that same object. Is this at all possible?
The example below works by passing in the name of the object instance
(in this case 'myDog'). Of course it would be better if I could
somehow know from within write() that the name of the object instance
was 'myDog' without having to pass it as a parameter.

creating a object using { 'propName1':'propValue1',
'propName2':'propValue2', 'propName3':{ /* another object */ } } - from
what version of JScript/JavaScript it was supported (from what browsers
versions) ?...

I've got a little hole in my head concerning references. Here's what
I'm trying to do: I'm calling a function, passing the reference of a
business object for editing. The function clones the object, calls an
editor dialog to let the user edit the object, and then - depending on
the DialogResult - assigns either the clone/backup copy or the modified
object itself to the reference. Maybe I'm thinking too much in pointer
references...
