i am wondering if anyone knows about this?

i have a gridview in a page, after the databinding i was able to access to the controls using the findcontrol features in the ItemTemplate, but the problem is that i received a null references error when i tried to access to the controls in the EditItemTemplate.

has anyone experienced anything like that? or know anything about how to solve the problem?  thanks!

usually i'll check if any data value of the dataset will be null before i return the dataset and do the databinding....

the issue here is not that the dataset is empty, since i was able to see all the records on the page.  the null reference error shows up when i click on the [edit] button for one of the records....

is it DBNull error ??
