Wizard using vb.net

[anupama96]

i have 2 pages reg.aspx and home.aspx where in home.aspx page i have reg and signin link buttons and reg.aspx has a wizard control(consists of registration form, login form and forgot password form).

when i click on signin button it has to redirect to reg.aspx and in the wizard control step to has to be displayed. similarly with the register button.

i am trying to use previouspage property but i am getting error
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

please help me out.

thanks in advance

Hi

You should post some of your code, you're refering to an object that the code does not know exists or understands. Posting code samples inside the "CODE" "/CODE" tags will help others see what you are doing and maybe identify where it is going wrong. Have you tried going through the code in a step by step debug?
