Best guess is that FindControl is failing to find a control wth the id of
"PriceTextBox" so ur getting a null object back.

Of course, the other option is that PropertyGridView.FooterRow is null...

When you're dealing with nulls/nothings, my advise is to break it down into
each piece, then rewrite the uber-single statement.

something like

FooterRow fr = PropertyGridView.FooterRow;
object o = fr.FindControl("PriceTextBox");
TextBox tb = (TextBox)o;
string s = tb.Text;
decimal price = decimal.Parse(s);


You'll usually find it that way.

Its not bad to put a
if(null!= someObject)
{
//do something//
}

in once a while too.




decimal price =decimal.Parse(((TextBox)PropertyGridView.FooterRow.FindControl("PriceTextBox
")).Text);
