[GoogleCodeExporter]

I tried to add new user into Manage Users module using the + icon button, 
and i'm getting an error "NullReferenceException was unhandled by user 
code:  Object reference not set to an instance of an object..."     and 
stop into RegisterFull.ascx.cs .. BindCountry() method, under line 
string CountriesFilter = portalSettings.CustomSettings
["SITESETTINGS_COUNTRY_FILTER"].ToString();

here is the code snippet:

private void BindCountry()

{

//Country filter limits contry list

string CountriesFilter = portalSettings.CustomSettings
["SITESETTINGS_COUNTRY_FILTER"].ToString();

CountryField.Items.Clear();

if (CountriesFilter.Length != 0)

{

CountryField.DataSource = CountryInfo.GetCountries(CountriesFilter);

}

else

{

CountryField.DataSource = CountryInfo.GetCountries
(CountryTypes.InhabitedCountries,CountryFields.DisplayName);

}

CountryField.DataBind();

}

With this error, I correct it as follow:
(Actually I fixed code to fill data to and get data from combobox)

1. Comment the calling to BindCountry()  function 
from function private void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
of file DesktopModules \ Register \ RegisterFull.ascx.cs

2. Add the code below to function public int SaveUserData()
of file  DesktopModules \ Register \ RegisterFull.ascx.cs
if (CountryID.Equals(""))
                    CountryID = "IT";

Actually, this error has been corrected in  version Rainbow.1.1.rev.635, You 
can 
download that version and see.
All what I did is just copy code from version Rainbow.1.1.rev.635 to my Rainbow 
Project using version Rainbow2.0

I do as follow: (you can see the attached file for more detail)

1. Change code to fill data to combobox id="CountryField"  in RegisterFull.ascx 
as 
follow:

    <!--
    <asp:DropDownList id="CountryFieldXXX" runat="server" Width="350px" 
AutoPostBack="True" DataValueField="Name"
     DataTextField="DisplayName"></asp:DropDownList>
    -->
    <asp:DropDownList id="CountryField" runat="server" Width="350px" 
AutoPostBack="True" DataValueField="CountryID"
     DataTextField="Country"></asp:DropDownList>

2. Update Function BindCountry() in file DesktopModules \ Register \ 
RegisterFull.ascx.cs

  private void BindCountry()
  {
            DataTable dtCountries = new DataTable("Countries");
            string sql = "Select CountryID, Country From rb_Countries Order By 
Country";
            dtCountries = DBHelper.GetDataSet(sql).Tables[0];

            if (dtCountries == null || dtCountries.Rows.Count == 0)
                ErrorHandler.Publish(LogLevel.Warn, "No Countries Returned in bind 
conutry");

            //  TODO : Fix this
            //dtCountries.ReadXml
(Rainbow.Framework.Settings.Path.ApplicationPhysicalPath 
+ "\\App_GlobalResources\\Countries.xml");
            //if (CountriesFilter.Length != 0)
            //{
            // CountryField.DataSource = CountryInfo.GetCountries(CountriesFilter);
            //}
            //else
            //{
            // CountryField.DataSource = CountryInfo.GetCountries
(CountryTypes.InhabitedCountries,CountryFields.DisplayName);
            //}

            CountryField.DataSource = dtCountries;
            CountryField.DataBind();
  }

3. Add data for Country Field in rb_Countries Table

Hope that it will be usefull for you.

I have the same problem. The strange is that when I've edited the code as you 
suggested and Shift F5 to compile it again it doesnt help. It complains at 
exactly 
the same codeline which is now wrong as the lines have been shifted. Somehow 
the 
chwanges just dont bite. Cacheproblem?

Hi froadrik,

<Hi! Im having the same problem as above. I downloaded the production/stable 
version 
and tried to use the correction as you suggested, but when i try to compile the 
same 
error appears. Is it wrong of me to use the public release-version when I want 
to 
change the code and in case i need the source code, where do I get the latest 
version?>

All you need is go to the site to download the latest version of Rainbow2.0.rar,
and version with corrected BindCountry() function in RainbowPortal2.0.Beta1.7z 
version: 
http://code.google.com/p/rainbow/downloads/list

I think you should attach the taken screen pictures at run time before and at 
the
time you see the problems. So, maybe someone can help.

I looked at the RainbowPortal2.0.Beta1.7z version but when I compile i dont get 
the 
samt types of DLL as inte the 2.0 production version. I suppose I need a new 
Rainbow.Modules.Register.dll to make it work? In that case, can someone email 
me the 
necessary files to maake it work? froadrik@gmail.com
