hi all,

I am facing a little problem. I have a form with a dropdownlist control. I have a button and when i click the form posts back.
The problem is that in the on button click event i'm calling this method
-------------------
Sub cute(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
Response.Write(ddlColors.SelectedItem.text)
End Sub

-------------------
in which i'm only trying to access my dropdownlist ddlColors's selected value. It gives me this exception:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please tell me what can i do about this and what am i doing wrong.

thanks!

Did you declare the "ddlColors" field in your Class definition?

Dear Kevin,
thanks for your reply. i figured that out by moving my code where i populated the dropdownlist into the sub page_load and there it works fine. I am really a new bie at .net and am trying to move to vs.net from visual interdev.

I have one another problem which i encounter when i create a new file in vs.net. I am pasting the error. Basically I have a file named ShoppingCart.aspx which when i build and browse gives the error below:
Please help me!
----------------------------------------------------
Server Error in '/OnLineShopping' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
