I get this returned when I try to add a comment. I can not really understand why I get error from create where i want to create a ticket ?
This is the contoller where my error comes from and it points on obj.Ticket.Ticket_Id == 0
public IActionResult Create(TicketVM obj)
{
if (obj.Ticket.Ticket_Id == 0)
{
_db.Tickets.Add(obj.Ticket);
}
else
{
_db.Tickets.Update(obj.Ticket);
}
}
This is the message i get:
System.NullReferenceException: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'
WebApplication20.Models.TicketVM.Ticket.get returned null.
I try to create an application where I can create a project object that then you should be able to create tickets for, and inside my tickets i should be able to make comments for the specific ticket. To be able to do that, I have created a one to many relationship between project --> ticket then a one to many relationship between ticket --> comment.
This is what my ticket controller where im able to create update and delete Tickets look like:
[Authorize]
public class TicketController : Controller
{
private readonly ApplicationDbContext _db;
public TicketController(ApplicationDbContext db)
{
_db = db;
}
public IActionResult Index()
{
IEnumerable<Ticket> objList = _db.Tickets;
foreach (var obj in objList)
{
obj.Project = _db.Projects.FirstOrDefault(u => u.Project_Id == obj.Project_Id);
}
return View(objList);
}
/**This is the view i want to create my operation on**/
public IActionResult Info(int id)
{
CommentVM t = new CommentVM();
t.Ticket = _db.Tickets.FirstOrDefault(t => t.Ticket_Id == id);
t.Comments = _db.Commenents.Where(f => f.Ticket_Id == id);
return View(t);
}
// Create
public IActionResult Create(int? id)
{
TicketVM obj = new TicketVM();
obj.ProjectList = _db.Projects.Select(i => new SelectListItem
{
Text = i.Name,
Value = i.Project_Id.ToString()
});
if (id == null)
{
return View(obj);
}
// Status List
#region
List<SelectListItem> statusList = new List<SelectListItem>();
statusList.Add(new SelectListItem()
{
Value = "Open",
Text = "Open"
});
statusList.Add(new SelectListItem()
{
Value = "Closed",
Text = "Closed"
});
#endregion
// Status List End
if (obj == null)
{
return NotFound();
}
obj.Ticket = _db.Tickets.FirstOrDefault(u => u.Ticket_Id == id);
obj.StatusList = statusList;
return View(obj);
}
/**This is the controller where i get my error from:**/
// POST Create/Update
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public IActionResult Create(TicketVM obj)
{
if (obj.Ticket.Ticket_Id == 0)
{
_db.Tickets.Add(obj.Ticket);
}
else
{
_db.Tickets.Update(obj.Ticket);
}
_db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction(nameof(Index));
}
// Delete
public IActionResult Delete(int? id)
{
var dbObj = _db.Tickets.FirstOrDefault(u => u.Ticket_Id == id);
_db.Tickets.Remove(dbObj);
_db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public IActionResult Comments(CommentVM obj)
{
if(ModelState.IsValid)
{
_db.Commenents.Add(obj.Comment);
_db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction(nameof(Index));
}
return View();
}
}
At the bottom I have created a comment controller where I want to be able to add comments to the database. When I try to make a comment from my view that belongs to the InfoController in Ticket, I get an alarm that there is an error in my TicketController from Create / POST where it says 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.' I do not understand at all why I get an error from Creaste / POST ticket?
This is what my Info view looks like
@model WebApplication20.ViewModel.CommentVM
@{
Layout = "_Dashboard";
var title = "About Ticket";
}
