Becuase you cannot assign a null value to the Text property of the textBox.
You can do a checking if the value is null or not:

if(c.IDCardNumber != null)
     txtIDCardNo.Text = c.IDCardNumber.ToString();
else
     txtIDCardNo.Text = "";

i found my mistake.. the thing was i was passing through the constructor a null customer and forgot to do the if statement as u told me thx very much :)
