This question already has answers here:
What is a NullReferenceException, and how do I fix it?
(27 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I have a form, which gets some values from model. Then, in POST the data user entered are handled and user is redirected to another page. However everytime I post the form, I get null-reference exeption. Where do I make a mistake?
None of the other questions asking about this didn´t solve my problem, that´s why I am asking again with my specific code.
The exeptions are at foreach loops - Model.Cart, Model.ShippingOptionsm etc.
#model CheckoutViewModel

ViewBag.Title = "Checkout";

I am using a modal bootstrap but my data is not loading into the bootstrap even though I am passing it trough from the controller.
My Grid pulls in data from a list for Notes Object
#foreach (var notes in Model) {
<tr>
<td>#notes.LastModifedDate</td>
<td>#notes.LastModifiedBy</td>
<td>#notes.Notes </td>
<td>
<p>#notes.Id</p> <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-pencil"></i>Edit
|<p>#notes.Id</p> <i class="glyphicon glyphicon-trash"></i>Delete
</td>
</tr>
}
I am using the following to Return the data to the popup.
public ActionResult NotesEditPopupPartial(int id ) {
var record = _context.MISNotes.Where(w => w.Id == id).FirstOrDefault();
return PartialView("NotesEditPopupPartial", record);
}
And using the following call to load the data but the data is not in the model for me to edit the text fields are still blank.
<script>
var AddOrEditNotes = function (id) {
var url = "/MISOjbects/NotesEditPopupPartial?id=" + id;
$("#myModalBodyDiv1").load(url, function () {
$("#MyEditUpateModal").modal("show");
})
}
</script>
<script>
function EditModal(id) {
$("#editMode").val(id);
}

Wrap your modal with div:
<div id="modalWrapper">
<div class="modal fade" id="NotesEditPopupPartial">
...
</div>
</div>
and then load and show the modal:
$("#modalWrapper").load(url, function () {
$("#NotesEditPopupPartial").modal("show");
})
<script>
var AddOrEditNotes = function (id) {
var url = "/MISOjbects/NotesEditPopupPartial?id=" + id;
$("#myModalBodyDiv1").load(url, function () {
$("#MyEditUpateModal").modal("show");
})
}
</script>
<script>
function EditModal(id) {
$("#editMode").val(id);
}
</script>
According to your code, I didn't find where you call the AddorEditNotes function to call the NotesEditPopupPartial action and display the partial, and in the EditModel method, you also didn't call the action method to show the partial, so, the popup modal is blank.
In my opinion, I suggest you put the bootstrap Modal on the main page (with note grid), because the trigger button (Edit hyperlink) is on this page. Then, in the hyperlink click event, you could use JQuery Ajax to call the action method and load the partial view and put it on the Bootstrap Modal.
Sample code as below:
Code in the Main page:
#model IEnumerable<NetMvcSample.Models.Note>
#{
ViewBag.Title = "ShowNotes";
}
<h2>ShowNotes</h2>
<script>
function EditModal(id) {
event.preventDefault(); // prevent the hyperlink default event.
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/Home/NotesEditPopupPartial", //change the url to your owns.
data: '{id: '+ id + "}",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (data) {
console.log(data)
//put the partial view in the modal content.
$('#myModalBodyDiv1').html(data);
},
failure: function (response) {
console.log(response.responseText);
},
error: function (response) {
console.log(response.responseText);
}
});
}
</script>

The output like this:
Within my project I am trying to change the users ability from only being able to "Edit" an address field to being able to "Create" and "Edit" if it already exist within the same view. I receive the following server error Click Here.
I then ran it through the debugger and received the following result Click Here Too!. I can see that my User ID is being passed as null in the controller which creates the server error. But after following Mr. Pratt advice I can see the User Id is being passed into the View I am unsure why this is happening or where I've made the mistake.

userProfile is null. You need to do proper null-checking:
var userProfile = db.UserProfiles.FirstOrDefault(up => up.UserId == id);
if (userProfile == null)
{
return new HttpNotFoundResult();
}
So I have a ViewModel and the properties are all validated by having required attributes on them. When I submit the form it doesn't throw any error messages, i.e. name field is required.
I think I have figured where the problem is. Its in the submit button, how do I get the button to hit the HttpPost method of the ActionList because at the moment its not hitting that, hence the modelstate is not being validated.

You have two problems that I can see.
Firstly, your button isn't a submit button. Its a link that sits outside of the form. You must move it into your form and make it a submit button (or write some javascript that submits the form on click):
<div>
#Html.DisplayNameFor(m => m.Time)
#Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Time, new { #class = "form-control" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(m => m.Time)
</div>
<input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" /> <!-- move it inside the form -->
#* ^^^^ submit *#
} <!-- end of your form is here -->
Also, Html.ValidationSummary(true) will hide all of your property errors from your Validation Summary. This may not be what you want. If you run into that issue.. remove true from the call.
Having faced this issue (I wanted to allow an edit by using a bootstrap modal window, i'm using MVC4 and entity framework), when I want to save my changes, I have this error message since I'm using the modal window :
Store update, insert, or delete statement affected an unexpected number of rows (0). Entities may have been modified or deleted since entities were loaded. Refresh ObjectStateManager entries.
Here are my actions :
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult EditPerson(long id)
{
var person = db.Persons.Single(p => p.Id_Person == id);
ViewBag.Id_ProductPackageCategory = new SelectList(db.ProductPackageCategories, "Id_ProductPackageCategory", "Name", person.Id_ProductPackageCategory);
return PartialView("_EditPerson", person);
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult EditPerson(Person person)
{
ViewBag.Id_ProductPackageCategory = new SelectList(db.ProductPackageCategories, "Id_ProductPackageCategory", "Name", person.Id_ProductPackageCategory);
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
ModelStateDictionary errorDictionary = Validator.isValid(person);
if (errorDictionary.Count > 0)
{
ModelState.Merge(errorDictionary);
return View(person);
}
db.Persons.Attach(person);
db.ObjectStateManager.ChangeObjectState(person, EntityState.Modified);
db.SaveChanges();
return View("Index");
}
return View(person);

Any idea on what's going on?
Try this first, just above #Html.ValidationSummary() in the partial view where you have the modal head, body and footer, place:
#Html.HiddenFor(model => model.PersonId) // or.Id whatever's in your model
This creates a hidden field in your view and sets model ID i.e. PK.
i have added extra three input fields to my view to enable the system admin to submit four objects at the same time instead of one object at a time; the view looks as the following:-

#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Description)
</div> <div class="editor-label">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.IsRight)
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
#Html.DropDownList("IsRight", String.Empty)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.IsRight)
</div> </li>
<li> <div class="editor-label">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.Description)
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
#Html.TextBox("answer[3].Description")
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Description)
</div> <div class="editor-label">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.IsRight)
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
#Html.DropDownList("IsRight", String.Empty)

</div> </li>
<ol>
</fieldset>
<input type= "hidden" name = "questionid" value = #ViewBag.questionid>
<input type= "hidden" name = "assessmentid" value = #ViewBag.assessmentid>
<input type="submit" value="Add answer" />
</div>
}
</div>
and the following Post Ation Method:-
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(int questionid, ICollection<Answer> answer)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
foreach (var a in answer){
repository.AddAnswer(a);
repository.Save();
}
return PartialView("_details2",answer);
}
return View("_details2",answer);}
and last thing the _details2 partial view which contains the newly added objects:-
#model IEnumerable<Elearning.Models.Answer>
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Details";
}
#foreach (var m in Model)
{
<tr id = #m.AnswersID>
<td>
#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => m.Description)
</td>
<td>
#*#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => Model.Answer_Description.description)*#
#ViewBag.Answerdesription
</td>
<td>
#Ajax.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", "Answer",
new { id = m.AnswersID },
new AjaxOptions
{
Confirm = "Are You sure You want to delete this Answer ?",
HttpMethod = "Post",
UpdateTargetId = #m.AnswersID.ToString(),
OnSuccess = "removePartial2"
})
</td>
</tr>
}
but the above is not working nethier the objects will be added nor the partial view will be returned , so how i can solve this issue???
BR
You bind your view to a single Elearning.Models.Answer object, how are you expecting to get a collection of Answers as a parameter in your Action? The default model binder will try to bind your view fields to the parameter in the Action but it won't be able to as it's a collection.
What you could try to do is to bind your View to a List<Elearning.Models.Answer> and feed it 4 empty Answer objects, then you can create a strongly typed Partial view that expects one Elearning.Models.Answer, add the Partial in a foreach and, when posting the form, expect that the default model binder does it work and fill your action method with a brand new List of Answer objects.
As an alternative, you can create a View Model object that contains the fields in your View, including those 4 description fields. You add them as Html.TextboxFor to bind each of them to a different property in the View Model. Then you can collect them in your action, provided you change it to public ActionResult Create(int questionid, ViewModelAnswer answer)
Does it make sense?
Your model should contain a list and code like this:
#for (int i=0; i < Model.FavouriteMovies.Count; i++) {
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.YourList[i].Field)
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.YourList[i].Field)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.YourList[i].Field)
}
which will print something like:
<label for="YourList_0__Field">Field Name</label>
The Field Name field is required.
And receive the model back in your controller:
public ActionResult MyAction(MyModel model)
{
// First element?
model.YourList[0].
}
