Can someone help with this response.text?

[TN Bella]

Hello,
I don't know why I keep getting this error. I have 15 of each txtacctnum
(txtacctnum - txtacctnum14), txtcostcntr, txtrefnum, and txtacctamt.
Some of the inputs are null, so I don't want to display unless there is
a value. Can someone please help?

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Here is my code:

Dim index as Integer
For index=0 To 14

litResponse.text +="<b>Account Number</b>: " &
CType(Me.FindControl("txtAcctNum" & index.ToString()), TextBox).text &
"<br>"
litResponse.text +="<b>Cost Center</b>: " &
CType(Me.FindControl("txtCostCntr" & index.ToString()), TextBox).text &
"<br>"
litResponse.text +="<b>Account Number</b>: " &
CType(Me.FindControl("txtRefNum" & index.ToString()), TextBox).text &
"<br>"
litResponse.text +="<b>Account Number</b>: " &
CType(Me.FindControl("txtActAmt" & index.ToString()), TextBox).text &
"<br>"
Next

Thank you.

sounds like one of your controls is not being found, so the FindControl
is null, causing the .Text to throw a null pointer (see your
stacktrace). Are you sure all of these controls are there, and all have
the correct names? I noticed you said txtacctnum - txtacctnum14, not
txtacctnum0 - txtacctnum14 as that first one must have 0 at the end of
it's name......

Right now it says:
For index = 1 To 14

The first textbox is txtAcctNum...following txtAcctNum1,
txtAcctNum2...txtAcctNum14.

How do I get that first textbox to be displayed w/o changing the
name...? It can't be 0 to 14, because that didn't work before.

Thanks for the help

Just check if it's 0

Dim index as Integer
Dim indexAsString as String
For index=0 To 14
If index>0 then
indexAsString = index.ToString()
Else
indexAsString = String.Empty
End If

litResponse.text +="<b>Account Number</b>: " &
CType(Me.FindControl("txtAcctNum" & indexAsString)
