When I press a button am trying to change the form view from insert to edit mode, I got an error "Object reference not set to an instance of an object
"
when I try to get the form view control in edit mode, as the following :
If FormView1.CurrentMode = FormViewMode.Insert
Then
FormView1.ChangeMode(FormViewMode.Edit)
FormView1.DefaultMode = FormViewMode.Edit
EndIf
FormView1.DataBind()
Dim DiscDDLInsert
As DropDownList =
CType(FormView1.FindControl("DiscNewEditDDL"), DropDownList)
DiscDDLInsert.SelectedValue = DiscDDLInsert.Items.FindByText(DiscDDL.SelectedItem.Text).Value 'Get the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object
" error
Dim DiscDDLInsert
As DropDownList =
CType(FormView1.FindControl("DiscNewEditDDL"), DropDownList)
DiscDDLInsert.SelectedValue = DiscDDLInsert.Items.FindByText(DiscDDL.SelectedItem.Text).Value 'Get the "Object reference not set to an instance of an object
" error
Please debug your code and check if you get the id of DiscNewEditDDL. If you get it, then check if all the values in DiscDDL are included in DiscNewEditDDL.
After my test, if DiscDDL.SelectedItem.Text is not included in DiscNewEditDDL, this error will occur.
If you still can't solve your problem, please post your code and DropDownList datasource.

If DiscDDLInsert.Items.FindByValue("abc") IsNot Nothing Then
DiscDDLInsert.Items.FindByValue("abc").Selected = true
End
Sorry, i'm not get your logic
You should have same controlid in edit and insert template
Ensure "DiscDDLInsert" is in both template
or check what is current mode to find the control
If FormView1.CurrentMode = FormViewMode.Edit Then
Dim DiscDDLInsert As DropDownList = CType(FormView1.FindControl("DiscNewEditDDL"), DropDownList)
End If

Dear samwu and oned_gk
Thanks both for your efforts, the problem was with Form view Sql Data Source, there was issue with the select statement.
