User Control... HELP???

G

Guest

Can someone please help....

I'm having major issues with a user control I'm tring to create!

I an trying to execute a sub called UploadData() from a user control which I
managed to do but for some reason I keep getting the error:

Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set
to an instance of an object.

Source Error:


Line 114: Sub UploadData()
Line 115: 'Dim ImageFile As System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputFile
Line 116: Dim imgstream As Stream = ImageFile.PostedFile.InputStream
Line 117: Dim imgdata(ImageFile.PostedFile.ContentLength) As Byte
Line 118: imgstream.Read(imgdata, 0,
ImageFile.PostedFile.ContentLength)

Error is on line 116...

I know that the sub works because if I put it staight into the aspx page it
works fine but as soon as I put the sub into the User Control it seems to
stop working as ImageFile.PostedFile.InputStream = nothing...

Can someone please please HELP.... Why does this happen???

Thanks

Tim:
NullReference exceptions are typically easy to track down. My guess is
simply that ImageFile isn't a control in your user control. In other words,
there's no:
<input type="file" id="ImageFile" runat="server" /> in yoru ascx

Hi Karl,

Thanks for the reply... The thing is the control is in the ASCX file!

The other strange thing is if I take the code from the control and put it
straight into the page it works file!

Any other ideas.... I'm stuck....
