Hi,

Check whether you are getting the Id of a record, which you want to update.

This is null reference error.

Hello Alagu,

Both the things are not null.

Both are instantiated.

using (OrganizationServiceProxy objref=OrganizationServiceProxy())

{

Entity location =new Entity(new_CustomEntity)

location.Attribute["x"]=some value;

location.Attribute["y"]=some value;

location.Attribute["z"]=some value;

location.Attribute["p"]=some value;

location.Attribute["q"]=some value;

location.Attribute["r"]=some value;

objref.Update(location) // this line giving error . as object reference not set to an instance of an object.

}

I cannot put my code as i have restriction .

So above is the high level idea which i have put in the code format.

don't go each and every syntax missing or anything else as it is high level put forth.

Now suggest me what is going to be wrong.
