I am trying to retrieve a value from a DataList
to use it in some formula
so I tried this code and I included it in the OnClick
button event:
float fQ = float.Parse(Qtytb.Text);
float ftotal;
float fitem = float.Parse(pricelst.SelectedItem.ToString());
ftotal = fQ * fitem;
totaltb.Text = ftotal.ToString();
But it gave me null pointer exception at this point
( float fitem = float.Parse(pricelst.SelectedItem.ToString()); )
How can I get that to work?
add below validation
if(pricelst.SelectedItem != null)
{
//your code....
}
You need to check if either pricelst
, or pricelst.SelectedItem
is null and handle these cases appropriately. For example, you could use float.TryParse(...)
or the null coalescing operator ??
.
As an example:
Given the class
private class Foo
{
public string SelectedItem { get; set; }
}
check for null like this:
Foo pricelst = new Foo();
float fitem;
if(float.TryParse(pricelst.SelectedItem, out fitem))
{
// set defaults here
fitem = 0;
}
try
var selectedItemValue = pricelst.SelectedItem == null ? "0" : pricelst.SelectedItem.ToString();
var selectedItemFloat = float.Parse(selectedItemValue);
var fQ = float.Parse(Qtytb.Text);
var ftotal = fQ * selectedItemFloat;
totaltb.Text = ftotal.ToString();
