</FooterTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>
Here is the code behind for the add button.
protected void add(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DateTime date = DateTime.Now;
System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label la = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.Label)friendRepeater.FindControl("PersonID");
String id = la.Text;
try
{
MySqlConnection connStr = new MySqlConnection();
connStr.ConnectionString = "
Server = localhost; Database = healthlivin; Uid = root; Pwd = khei92;";
String insertFriend = "INSERT INTO contactFriend(friendID, PersonID, PersonIDB, date) values (@id, @personIDA, @personIDB, @date)";
MySqlCommand cmdInsertStaff = new MySqlCommand(insertFriend, connStr);
cmdInsertStaff.Parameters.AddWithValue("@id", "F000004");
cmdInsertStaff.Parameters.AddWithValue("@personIDA", "M000001");
cmdInsertStaff.Parameters.AddWithValue("@personIDB", id);
cmdInsertStaff.Parameters.AddWithValue("@date", date);
connStr.Open();
cmdInsertStaff.ExecuteNonQuery();
MessageBox.Show("inserted");
connStr.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(ex.ToString());
}
}
I have get the error of Object reference not set to an instance of an object. I think is because there are no value in the Label. The Find Control are not working. May I know how can fix this problem? Thank you very much
