I have looked over the pages on the site, but cant seem to find something general enough for my problem, so was hoping someone knows what to do. I am debugging some code someone else wrote and am having problems with a GridView statement. My problem is that my gridview is always null. I have a declared GridView in a panel which is in a LoginView, which is basically set up as the following. <pre><code><asp:LoginView ID="LoginView1" runat="server" onviewchanged="LoginView1_ViewChanged"> <AnonymousTemplate>&nbsp;Please <a href="../Default.aspx"> Log In </a></AnonymousTemplate> <LoggedInTemplate> <asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server"> <asp:GridView ID="GridView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False" CellPadding="2" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" ForeColor="Black" GridLines="Horizontal" BackColor="White" BorderColor="#CCCCCC" BorderStyle="None" BorderWidth="1px" Width="970px" OnRowCommand="GridView1_RowCommand" PageSize="40" AllowSorting="True"> </code></pre> After that, in a C# file, I have the following statement <pre><code> GridView GridView1 = (GridView)LoginView1.FindControl("GridView1"); </code></pre> When I go to run the code, I get the NullRefrenceException on GridView1. Do I need to dig down into the panel to refrence the GridView, or should I be able to access it from the main LoginView1 segment? Edit:Changed my code snippet to include the information for the Anonymous Template

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
