Hi All,

I have got unexpected error while creating a new Page in Epi-Server, in following way.

  1. I have created the PageType as  news with some properties.
  2. Created the Page from this  and it is working fine.
  3. After some time I have added new property called as PageIntrodcution in that and publish.
  4. It is working some days before and currently working fine for existing pages.
  5. But when try to create new page,  it show the NullReference error on this newly added property.

Full Error :

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]

To me, it looks like you are not checking the property for null when it is rendered in the view

Hi Per,

Thanks fro reply!

Yes, I had put the check, but it still showing the error at the if end bracket.  BTW it is same as other properties which has no check ans these are working properly.

For quick fix, I have tried to change the property name , but no luck.

Please help me.

Thanks

Abhishek

Hi,

One more thing, I have tried it to solve by asigning default value and that value get accepted , but still it throwing the Null refernce exception.

An exception of type 'System.NullReferenceException' occurred in App_Web_y4kh1w3k.dll but was not handled in user code

Additional information: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Any suggestions!

Thanks

Abhishek

Hi,

Actually that error is not regarding to this one property only. I tried it commented out the line and it showing same error for other property and so on.

NOw I am really don't understand what goes wrong.
