Object reference exception when drag and drop task

[Arjan]

Hi,

I get an object reference exception when I try to drag a task in the Gantt control to change the duration.

I am using the following class

 

public class PlannedTask : IPlannedTask

{

    private IWorkPlace _assignWorkPlace;

    public PlannedTask()

    {

        PredecessorList = new List<IPlannedTask>();

        SuccessorList = new List<IPlannedTask>();

        RelatedWorkPlaces = new List<IWorkPlace>();

    }

    public string Id { get; set; }

    public string Oid { get; set; }

    public PlannedTaskType Type { get; set; }

    public string Name => $"{Id}";

    public string Description { get; set; }

    public string ParentOid { get; set; }

    public DateTime? StartDate { get; set; }

    public string DurationInMinutesStr { get; set; }

    public int DurationInMinutes { get; set; }

    public string DurationUnit {get;set; }

    public DateTime? EndDate { get; set; }

    public DateTime? EndDateByDuration

    {

        get

        {

            if (StartDate != null)

            {

                switch (DurationUnit)

                {

                    case "minute": return StartDate.Value.AddMinutes(DurationInMinutes);

                    //case "hour": return StartDate.Value.AddHours(Duration);

                    //case "day": return StartDate.Value.AddDays(Duration);

                }

            }

            return null;

        }

    }

    public int Progress { get; set; }

    public bool IsScheduled { get; set; }

    public IList<IWorkPlace> RelatedWorkPlaces { get; set; }

    public IWorkPlace AssignedWorkPlace => _assignWorkPlace;

    public IPlannedTask ParentTask { get; set; }

    public string Predecessors => string.Join(",", PredecessorList.Select(x => x.Oid));

    public string Successors => string.Join(",", SuccessorList.Select(x => x.Oid));

    public IList<IPlannedTask> PredecessorList { get; set; }

    public IList<IPlannedTask> SuccessorList { get; set; }

    public void AssignWorkPlace(IWorkPlace workPlace)

    {

        _assignWorkPlace = workPlace;

        var task = workPlace.AssignedTasks.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Id == this.Id);

        if (task == null)

        {

            workPlace.AssignedTasks.Add(this);

        }

    }

    public override string ToString()

    {

        return $"{Type} {(IsScheduled ? "(s)" : "(p)")} {Oid} - Start: {StartDate}, End: {EndDate} Duration {DurationInMinutes} min. Predecessors {Predecessors} Successors {Successors} ";

    }

}

And I have the following exception

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hi Arjan,

Thanks for contacting syncfusion forum.

Before proceeding this, we would like to investigate this further to better understand the root cause. Could you please provide us with additional information to find the exact cause of the issue. Share us the following details.

1. Complete Gantt code details.(Gantt rendering code)
2. Screenshot/Video demo to replicate the issue.
3. Replication steps to replicate the problem.
4. NuGet package version details.

Once we receive this information, we will proceed with further investigation and provide you with an update as soon as possible.

Regards,

Ajithkumar G

Hi,

I have added a sample solution.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Compile and start solution in VS
2. Try to drag the duration of a task
3. An exception occured

Hi Arjan,


We are able to replicate the problem from the shared sample. Further analysis, the primary key field has not been defined in a column definition. To overcome this, we suggest defining the primary column in GanttColumns to enable editing.

<SfGantt DataSource="@TaskCollection" Height="450px" Width="700px" HighlightWeekends="true">

    <GanttTaskFields Id="Oid" Name="Name" StartDate="StartDate" EndDate="EndDate"

                     Duration="DurationInMinutesStr" DurationUnit="DurationUnit" Progress="Progress" ParentID="ParentOid" Dependency="Predecessors">

    </GanttTaskFields>

    <GanttColumns>

        <GanttColumn Field="Oid"></GanttColumn>

        <GanttColumn Field="Name" HeaderText="Task Name" Width="250"></GanttColumn>

        <GanttColumn Field="StartDate" HeaderText="Start Date" Width="250"></GanttColumn>

        <GanttColumn Field="DurationInMinutesStr" Format="" HeaderText="Duration" Width="250"></GanttColumn>

    </GanttColumns>

    <GanttEditSettings AllowTaskbarEditing="true"></GanttEditSettings>

    <GanttTimelineSettings TimelineViewMode="TimelineViewMode.Week"></GanttTimelineSettings>

</SfGantt>
