    Hi jenifer, 

    The error means that you are referring to an object the does not exist or was deleted or cleaned up. It's usually better to avoid a NullReferenceException than to handle it after it occurs. To prevent the error, objects that could be null should be tested for null before being used.

    if (mClass != null)
    {
    // Go ahead and use mClass
    mClass.property = ...
    }
    else
    {
    // Attempting to use mClass here will result in NullReferenceException
    }

    Hi Jennifer, This generic error occurs whenever there is null value in the object. Please provide more info on your code or debug your code where you are initializing ListId.

    Also, check if contract is not null.

    Hi jenifer,

    To check whether list is null or not you can use empty method and then get the elements.

    if(!contract.parmListId().empty())

    Thanks,

    Girish S.
