I am creatig dymaic 12 radio button in the series of 4(option) but I am getting error(red line).
as I am very new to asp.net I am not able to handle it

What error are you getting?

[pupilstuff]

try to create the instance by using new keyword

I have faced same problem once and in my case the form.findControl was also useless.

So what I did was create a datatable and bind it to gridview, and on each (add) click, insert a new row in the datatable and rebind the grid, and when you want to get values of the controls, just use i.e.

Also names of your radiobuttons must be in a sequence like rbtn1, rbtn2

int count = 0;
foreach (gridViewRow grRbtn in gridView1.Rows)
{
   radiobutton rbtn = grRbtn.findControl("rbtn"+count) as radiobutton;
   // do what you have to do, youve got the object of radio button
   // i.e. store them in an array.
   count ++;
}

I think that your problem lies here.

RadioButton[][] radioButtons = new RadioButton[3][];
TableRow[] tr = new TableRow[3];
TableCell[][] tc = new TableCell[3][];

In your table creation loops you are creating 4 rows with 4 columns and adding 4 radiobutton to each cell. Yet you only have three rows in the arrays and no columns.

Also, I think that this DataRow dtr = ds.Tables[0].Rows[j]; would be better outside the k for loop.

Hello nick,
Thanks for the reply

But when I use the braekpoint the cursor is not going on to that line where I add the radio button to cells
the error is coming to that line so I dont think so the error is related to how many radio button is being added to cell.
any how change the row from 4 to 3 still getting the same error

Please see those two lines

RadioButton[][] radioButtons = new RadioButton[3][];
radioButtons[j] = new RadioButton();

these declaration may contain the error

[nick.crane]

Yes, that is what I was pointing out. You only initialise the primary array part here. RadioButton[][] radioButtons = new RadioButton[3][]; So when you try to execute radioButtons[i][j] = new RadioButton(); radioButtons[j] does not exist because radionButtons is null.

Put a breakpoint after RadioButton[][] radioButtons = new RadioButton[3][]; and examine the contents of radioButtons.

[pupilstuff]

Ya , Its seems that your right, plz tell me what should I do to overcome this problem

means what change should be done in code

[nick.crane]

Option 1) Change the array to a two dimensional array.

RadioButton[,] radioButtons = new RadioButton[4, 4];

Option 2) initialise the second tier of arrays.

RadioButton[][] radioButtons = new RadioButton[4][];
for (int i = 0; i < radioButtons.Length; i++)
{
    radioButtons[i] = new RadioButton[4];
}

Option 3) If you don't know how many you need then use a list.

List<RadioButton> radioButtons = new List<RadioButton>();
...
RadioButton newRB = new RadioButton();
radionButtons.Add(newRB);
