Hi I am using a ListView control to display a summary of product information.

I have added code to display product details in a seperate group box control that is populated when the using clicks on a product in the ListView. Not all fields in the Group box are applicable to all products so that some fields will always be null in the db. This throws an error when clicking on the product in the ListView.

Is there away that this can be resolved. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

Solution 2

When the user clicks on the ListView, check the details for a null. If they are not null, don't populate the group box.
