public class Blah
{
public bool Whatever { get; set; }
public string WhatYouJustSaid { get; set; }
}
public interface IBlah
{
Blah BlahValues { get; set; }
}
class Class1:IBlah
{
public Blah BlahValues { get; set; }
}
And then for example:
Class1 c1 = new Class1();
c1.BlahValues.WhatYouJustSaid = "nothing";
c1.BlahValues.Whatever = false;
So how should I change my code that BlahValues doesn't get null?
You have to initialize the BlahValues. Using an object initializer, this can be done as below:
Class1 c1 = new Class1()
{
BlahValues = new Blah()
};
As you create the c1 object, the BlahValues get it's default value, which is null. Hence, when you try to assign a value to WhatYouJustSaid and Whatever you get a null reference exception.
use it like this inside the constructor of Class1
public Class1()
{
this.BlahValues = new Blah()
}

Hi i have a Number of Properties and My properties like
public XYZ()
{
xyz = new xyz1();
xyz2 = new xyz2();
}
public xyz1 xyz1 { get; set; }
public xyz2 xyz2 { get; set; }
}
public class xyz1
{
public string fName { get; set; }
public string lnameget; set;}
}
public class xyz2
{
public string city { get; set; }
public string state
}
While i am setting my property on runtime i am getting exception object reference set to null.
XYZ model = new XYZ();
PropertyInfo propertyInfo = model.GetType().GetProperty("fName");
propertyInfo.SetValue(model, Convert.ChangeType(item.InnerText, propertyInfo.PropertyType), null);
Please help me
model has no fName property, but model.xyz1 does.

I´m attempting to fill a POCO object but I get the NullReferenceException - Object reference not set to an instance of an object, at line "objectAreas.position.Add(objectPositions);" I think I'm not initializing well but I don't see my mistake, let's see the code:
POCO OBJECT
public class GenericQuery
{
public sealed class Areas
{
public int idarea { get; set; }
public string areaname { get; set; }
public List<Positions> positions { get; set; }
}
public sealed class Positions
{
public int idposition { get; set; }
public string positionname { get; set; }
}
public sealed class QueryAreasPositions
{
public int code { get; set; }
public string response { get; set; }
public List<Areas> areas { get; set; }
}
}
Filling It
GenericQuery.QueryAreasPositions objectAreasPositions = new GenericQuery.QueryAreasPositions();
var query = areaRepository.Get(); //Eager Loading EntityFramework List Object, see the AreaRepository at the end
objectAreasPositions.code = 123;
objectAreasPositions.response = "anything";
foreach (var area in query)
{
GenericQuery.Areas objectAreas = new GenericQuery.Areas();
objectAreas.idarea = area.IdArea;
objectAreas.areaname = area.Name;
foreach (var position in area.Position)
{
GenericQuery.Positions objectPositions = new GenericQuery.Positions();
objectPositions.idposition = position.IdPosition;
objectPositions.positionname = position.Name;
***objectAreas.position.Add(objectPositions);***//HERE
}
objectAreasPositions.areas.Add(objectAreas); //And maybe here
}
AreaRepository
public List<Area> Get()
{
using (var context = new Entities())
{
return context.Area.Include("Position").ToList();
}
}
I would appreciate any help/guide you can give me, Thanks.
You are never initializing objectAreas.position, hence the default value for a List<T> is null.
Since you are trying to call the Add method on a null reference, you are getting a NullReferenceException.
To fix this, you should initialize the property before using it:
objectAreas.position = new List<GenericQuery.Positions>();
Alternatively, you can add this logic on GenericQuery.Areas constructor, which would be more appropriate:
public sealed class Areas
{
public int idarea { get; set; }
public string areaname { get; set; }
public List<Positions> positions { get; set; }
public class Areas()
{
positions = new List<Positions>();
}
}
Shouldn't you rather be doing like below. Your position is null cause not yet initialized and thus the said exception.
objectAreas.position = new List<Position>();
objectAreas.position.Add(objectPositions);

i have a problem, i created an object in C# like this:
public class logis
{
public string codigo { get; set; }
public List<decimal> Necesidades { get; set; }
decimal SumaNecesidades{get;set;}
}
then i do something like this:
logisva logi = new logis();
logi.codigo = oDataReader.GetValue(0).ToString();
logi.Necesidades.Add(0);
But when i execute my code i get a null reference exception error. Object reference not set to an instance of an object. on the last line logi.Necesidades.Add(0);
Any idea why i get this error?
In C# the properties do not initialize/create the List<ofType> object automatically. You need to create the list explicitely:
public class logis
{
public string codigo { get; set; }
public List<decimal> Necesidades { get; set; }
decimal SumaNecesidades{get;set;}
public logis()
{
this.Necesidades = new List<decimal>();
}
}
Another option is to create the list in the getter resp. setter (so to say your own lazy initialization, downside - introduces more code, advantage no need to override every contructor):
public class logis
{
public string codigo { get; set; }
decimal SumaNecesidades{get;set;}
private List<decimal> necesidades = null;
private void initNecesidades()
{
if (this.necesidades == null)
{
this.necesidades = new List<decimal>();
}
}
public List<decimal> Necesidades
{
get
{
this.initNecesidades();
return this.necesidades;
}
set
{
this.initNecesidades();
this.necesidades = value;
}
}
}
Yet another option would be to use the new C# 6.0 features (if it is an option to use/already using the latest .NET Framework version) as already suggested in the comments by #Jcl:
public List<decimal> Necesidades { get; set; } = new List<decimal>()

I am writing a LINQ query. But, i am getting null object reference error for Model.StudentSummary.StudentDetails.
I put breakpoint on following foreach and when i mouse over Model.StudentSummary.StudentDetails i see StudentDetails is null.
I have initialized the whole model class than why it didn't initialize List<StudentDetails> in StudentSummary class?
foreach (Summary summary in Model.summaryData)
{
Model.StudentSummary.StudentDetails.Add(new SafetyDetails
{
Name = summary.Name,
ManTimeWorked = summary.TotalTime,
});
}
Model.cs
public class Report : BaseReportModel
{
public Report()
{
StudentSummary = new StudentSummary();
}
public StudentSummary StudentSummary { get; set; }
}
public class StudentSummary
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public List<StudentDetails> StudentDetails { get; set; }
}
Just because you initialized the object doesn't mean that all of its properties are initialized: each of those carries its default value until you change it, and the default for a List (or any class-type object) is null (more details in this post). You need to initialize the list.
You can inline this in your Report constructor like:
public class Report : BaseReportModel
{
public Report()
{
StudentSummary = new StudentSummary
{
StudentDetails = new List<StudentDetails>()
}
}
public StudentSummary StudentSummary { get; set; }
}
Another option is to initialize it in StudentSummary's constructor itself, which keeps the class in a nice state from the beginning without any additional work:
public class StudentSummary
{
public StudentSummary()
{
StudentDetails = new List<StudentDetails>();
}
public string Name { get; set; }
public List<StudentDetails> StudentDetails { get; set; }
}
This has a tradeoff: if you already have a List<StudentDetails> that you want to initialize it to, you needlessly create a new list - but if your regular use case is adding them as you do in the example code, it shouldn't be an issue.
If you're expecting StudentSummary.StudentDetails to be instantiated at the same time as StudentSummary you need to manually do it in the StudentSummary constructor, as you do with the StudentSummary in the Report constructor.

I have a CibilResponse Class that has properties that are of class type (TUEF class). I am trying to assign value to CibilEnquiryEnq.Tuef.Version but i am getting null reference error. Before you mark this question as duplicate let me mention that I have read some of the similar questions and their answers on SO and post which I have initialized tuef in the constructor as you can see in my code. Can you please point out if you can what is it that I am doing wrong?
ICIBIL.cs
[ServiceContract]
public interface ICIBIL
{
[OperationContract]
string InsertCibil(CibilResponse cibilResponse);
[OperationContract]
string GenerateEnquiry(CibilEnquiry testObj);
}
[DataContract]
public class CibilResponse
{
[DataMember]
public string ResponseString { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string Business { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string MkrId { get; set; }
}
[DataContract]
public class CibilEnquiry
{
[DataMember]
public TUEF Tuef { get; set; }
public CibilEnquiry()
{
this.Tuef = new TUEF();
}
}
[DataContract]
public class TUEF
{
[DataMember]
public string SegmentTag { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string Version { get; set; }
[DataMember]
public string MemberReferenceNumber { get; set; }
}
Appication :
CibilWcfService.CIBIL obj = new CibilWcfService.CIBIL();
CibilWcfService.CibilEnquiry CibilEnquiryEnq = new CibilWcfService.CibilEnquiry();
CibilEnquiryEnq.Tuef.Version = "123";// null reference error here
string res = obj.GenerateEnquiry(CibilEnquiryEnq);
Can you try the below. C# is case sensitive.
using CbilFileReader.CibilWcfService;
namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
CIBIL obj = new CIBIL();
CibilEnquiry CibilEnquiryEnq = new CibilEnquiry();
TUEF objtuef = new TUEF();
objtuef.Version = "123";
CibilEnquiryEnq.Tuef = objtuef;
string res = obj.GenerateEnquiry(CibilEnquiryEnq);
}
}
}
This might do the trick for you
CibilWcfService.CIBIL obj = new CibilWcfService.CIBIL();
CibilWcfService.CibilEnquiry CibilEnquiryEnq = new CibilWcfService.CibilEnquiry();
CibilWcfService.CibilEnquiry.Tuef ObjTUEF = new CibilWcfService.CibilEnquiry.Tuef();
ObjTUEF.Version="123";
CibilEnquiryEnq.Tuef = ObjTUEF;
string res = obj.GenerateEnquiry(CibilEnquiryEnq);
