    Exceptional Handler - Buffer cannot be null

    Hi,

    I have a datagridview and on cellmouseclick the following code is called:

    Code:
    Private Sub DgTenantDetails_CellMouseClick(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellMouseEventArgs) Handles DgTenantDetails.CellMouseClick
    
            'Dim conn As SqlConnection = GetDbConnection()
    
            If e.RowIndex >= 0 Then
    
                Call TenantsDetailsDisable()
                BtnUpdate.Enabled = False
    
                Dim img As Byte()
                img = DgTenantDetails.Item(6, e.RowIndex).Value
                'img = DgTenantDetails.Rows(e.RowIndex).Cells(6).Value
                Dim ms As New MemoryStream(img)
    
    
                Dim row As DataGridViewRow = DgTenantDetails.Rows(e.RowIndex)
    
                TxtFNameUp.Text = row.Cells(1).Value.ToString
                TxtLNameUp.Text = row.Cells(2).Value.ToString
                TxtTelUp.Text = row.Cells(3).Value.ToString
                TxtEmailUp.Text = row.Cells(4).Value.ToString
                TxtNationalIDUp.Text = row.Cells(5).Value.ToString
                PictureBox2.Image = Image.FromStream(ms)
                PictureBox2.SizeMode = PictureBoxSizeMode.StretchImage
    
            End If
        End Sub
    On the form, I have a 'Search By' with a dropdownlist i.e., ALL, firstname, lastname.

    On Formload by default it has 'ALL' selected with all the records displayed on the datagridview.

    Now, if I 'Search By' - firstname and enter details on the textbox the datagridview gets populated accordingly.

    The issue is if I click a cell on the datagridview to display the content on another panel with textboxes and picturebox I get the following error message:

    Code:
    System.ArgumentNullException: 'Buffer cannot be null.
    Parameter name: buffer'
    The following code is highlighted in GREEN

    Code:
    Dim ms As New MemoryStream(img)
    N/B: When I click cell when the datagridview is populated on formload i.e., 'ALL' is selected by default - this problem doesn't exist

    Thanks

    Code:
    Dim ms As New MemoryStream(img)

    Re: Exceptional Handler - Buffer cannot be null

    Set a breakpoint and debug your code. You'll be able to see the exact line where the variable is null. From there you can fingure out what to do to fix it.
