    hi

    you should check "regarding" with "null" :

    if(regarding!=null){

    //your fields update codes

    }

    Hi,

    you don't test "parent_entityref" after retrieve it, when i read your code it seems that it is the only test you forgot.

    "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" occurs when you try to apply a method on null object.
