Getting a NullReferenceException

Question

I'm getting this:

    private object setReportValues(object report, FormCollection values)
    {
        PropertyInfo[] properties = report.GetType().GetProperties();
        foreach (PropertyInfo property in properties)
        {
            string val = values.GetValue(property.Name).ToString();
            property.SetValue(report, val, null);
        }
        return report;
    }

Exception is on string val = values.GetValue(property.Name).ToString();. Do I have to check for nulls before?

Answer 1

Do I have to check for nulls before?

On this line, yes:

string val = values.GetValue(property.Name).ToString()

Simply because the value of that particular property could be null.
