Has anyone come across this, and hopefully know a solution

'NullReferenceException not handled by user code'

this appears when i try and upload a photo in member_details.aspx.

does anyone have any ideas, the code is similar to image fetch.aspx,

which works fine.

thanks

Malcolm

Public Sub writeSingleImage(ByVal MemberID As Guid, ByVal output As IO.Stream)

'todo fix the following line of code

Dim connection As New SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ClubSiteDB").ConnectionString)

Dim qry As String = "select avatar from memberinfo where memberid=@memberid"

Dim command As New SqlCommand(qry, connection)

Dim param0 As New Data.SqlClient.SqlParameter("@memberid", Data.SqlDbType.UniqueIdentifier)

param0.Value = MemberID

command.Parameters.Add(param0)

connection.Open()

Dim d As Byte() = CType(command.ExecuteScalar(), Byte())

output.Write(d, 0, d.Length)

connection.Close()

End Sub

I too have trouble uploading an avatar image in the Members Detail Section. I don't get an error, but I don't get an uploaded image either, just an image placeholder where the thumbnail picture should be. No avatar image displayed in "Members" section of site at all.

I wish I had more to contribute but I'm a Newbie to all this and stumbling around in the dark a lot. I hope someone can resolve this as I'd like to paste some animal pictures to the hockey team I placed this site for. Some motivation eh!

are you getting an error even with an Image selected in the browse files control?

I get an error only when I do not select a pic, I do believe the code does not check for null values.

I you hit the clearimage button you get the PlaceHolder showing a blank square.

I am having the same issue, clearing the image nulls the avatar data field in memberinfo and sets to the no photo image, when I uploadimage_click with testavatar.jpg the table shows a binary value in the avatar field so I am assuming it's loading correctly.

I got the nullref error as well, but got past that by changing the byte array declaration line to this

I know just enough C# to be dangerous, and can't seem to get past this.

I tried not casting it and got an invalid cast from sqlbinary to byte[], I am sure thisis something silly i am missing, any help would be appreciated.

Got it to work, changed the delaration line to this.

 byte[] d = (byte[])Convert.ChangeType(command.ExecuteScalar(), typeof(byte[]));

I hope this helps someone else like me.

I made a simple change to Member_Details.aspx at the beginning of uploadimage_Click

If newavatar.HasFile = False Then Return
