I just want to get whatever UOM has been selected on a sales order line.

As an intial check I am just displaying a messagebox to confirm I'm getting the right UOM.

Code: Select all

MessageBox.Show(line.UnitOfMeasure.Name);

But I am getting an error 'object reference not set to an instance of an object.'
What am I doing wrong?

That property is nullable, so you need to check if it is null before using it.

A null (or nothing) UnitOfMeasure property means that "units" is used.

Code: Select all

if(line.UnitOfMeasure == null)
    MessageBox.Show(line.Units);

Another successful forum thread!
Thanks Mike & Scott.

This is what I did to get it working

Code: Select all

if(line.UnitOfMeasure == null)
{
    MessageBox.Show(line.Units);
}
else
{
    MessageBox.Show(line.UnitOfMeasure.Name);
}
