Help, NullReferenceException

[Jeff]

Hey

asp.net 2.0

The line "int selectedID =
Convert.ToInt32(gvQuestions.SelectedDataKey.Value. ToString());" in the code
below gives an NullReferenceException (Object reference not set to an
instance of an object.)

protected void gvQuestions_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
int selectedID =
Convert.ToInt32(gvQuestions.SelectedDataKey.Value. ToString());
if (Request.QueryString["question"] == null)
{
Response.Redirect(Request.Url.ToString() + "?id=" +
selectedID.ToString());
}
else
{
}
}
catch (Exception exception)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(exception.Messa ge.ToString());
}
}
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

Hi Jeff,

Either SelectedDataKey is null or gvQuestions is null. Seeing that this
is an event method for gvQuestions I would assume SelectedDataKey ==
null. The documentations indicate that this will happen if no row is
selected, or possibly that DataKeyNames is not set.

Hey Morten!

the DataKeyNames property is set to the primary key field in the datasource

And also:
When selecting a row in the GridView, the SelectedIndexChanged event isn't
triggered. The row I clicked on isn't marked as selected. I have enabled
selection on the GridView

So the SelectedIndexChanged event I sent in the previous post isn't executed
everytime...

Any suggestions?
