    <p>I haver a simple radio button list on my page that I render with the following in my view: </p> <pre><code>&lt;label for="gender"&gt;Gender&lt;/label&gt; &lt;%= Html.RadioButton("gender", 1) %&gt; Male &lt;%= Html.RadioButton("gender", 2) %&gt; Female &lt;%= Html.ValidationMessage("gender") %&gt; </code></pre> <p>Note that when the user initially sees this input, neither button is selected. The validation is there to force them to choose and not accept a default. Therefore, these two radio buttons are bound to a nullable int property in my model declared as:</p> <pre><code>public int? gender { get; set; } </code></pre> <p>So if they do not select a button, and submit the page, the gender property will be null indicating that they did not select. The following validation is called by the controller during the post:</p> <pre><code>if (!gender.HasValue) ModelState.AddModelError("gender", "gender required"); </code></pre> <p>But, if the validation fails (they did not choose), then during the rendering phase, the following exception is thrown by the MVC framework:</p> <pre><code>System.NullReferenceException was unhandled by user code Message="Object reference not set to an instance of an object." </code></pre> <p>In searching for for a solution to this problem, I noted several had this problem. I am using ASP.NET MVC 1.0. I found the place in the code where this error is thrown using .NET Reflector.</p> <p>The question is how to make this work correctly?</p> <p>EDIT: to add stacktrace:</p> <pre><code>System.NullReferenceException was unhandled by user code Message="Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
