Hi,

I am trying to use the CustomPropertyExtender (CustomPropertyDbEx) in my
application. I am doing implementation as per the guidelines by adding
references and implementing as below.

CustomPropertyDbEx cp;

try
{
cp = new CustomPropertyDbEx(objCurChannel);
cp.AssetType = CustomPropertyDbExAssetType.Channel;
cp.AssetGuid = new Guid(objCurChannel.Guid);
cp.Key = "test";
cp.Value = "satish";
cp.Commit();
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Response.Write(ex.Message);
Response.Write(ex.Source);
Response.End();
}

But i am getting the following exception:
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an
object.

with the stacktrace as below:

ContentManagement.Extensions.DataHandler.InitConnectionString(String
connectionString) +39
ContentManagement.Extensions.Searches.GetByKey(String value) +46


Can anybody help me how to findout the reason for this exception?

Satish.

Hi Satish,

seems you did not setup the connection string to your external DB which
should hold the custom properties correct.

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Satish,

then you should post this to an ASP.NET related newsgroup as this is not
really a MCMS related question.

Cheers,
Stefan
