    <p>I have a page where users can enter their state information and then a list of other users come back within the state. I am using a <code>foreach</code> loop.</p> <p>Some of the states have 0 users, which then leads me to get an error: <strong>Object reference not set to an instance of an object</strong>. How can I get past that error? The particular model I'm using is called Profiles.</p> <p>The Model:</p> <pre><code>public class homepage { public List&lt;profile&gt; profile { get; set; } public PagedList.IPagedList&lt;Article&gt; article { get; set; } } </code></pre> <p>The Controller:</p> <pre><code>public ActionResult Index() { HttpCookie mypreference = Request.Cookies["cook"]; if (mypreference == null) { ViewData["mypreference"] = "Enter your zipcode above to get more detailed information"; var tyi = (from s in db.profiles.OrderByDescending(s =&gt; s.profileID).Take(5) select s).ToList(); } else { ViewData["mypreference"] = mypreference["name"]; string se = (string)ViewData["mypreference"]; var tyi = (from s in db.profiles.OrderByDescending(s =&gt; s.profileID).Take(5) where se==s.state select s).ToList(); } return View(); } </code></pre> <p>The View:</p> <pre><code>@if (Model.profile != null) { foreach (var item in Model.profile) { @item.city } } </code></pre> <p>When I get the <strong>Object reference not set to an instance of an object</strong> error, the line <code>@if (Model.profile != null)</code> is highlighted, so I tried to do this:</p> <pre><code>public List&lt;profile&gt;? profile { get; set; } </code></pre> <p>But it didn't work. Any ideas of how to accept an empty Model in a foreach or just skip the code at runtime?</p>

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.
