I'm a beginner when it comes to coding on visual studio 2010, but I'm really enjoying it!

My end goal is to have a textbox that you put in text and it searches and selects the row that has that information.

This is the code I have so far:

 Private Sub Button5_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button5.Click

    Dim temp As Integer = 0
    Dim gv As Object
    gv = Me.End2End_Master_QueryDataGridView
    For i As Integer = 0 To gv.RowCount - 1
        For j As Integer = 0 To gv.ColumnCount - 1
            If gv.Rows(i).Cells(j).Value.ToString = Me.TextBox1.Text Then
                MsgBox("Item found")
                temp = 1
            End If
        Next
    Next
    If temp = 0 Then
        MsgBox("Item not found")
    End If

End Sub

I get a "NullReferenceException was unhandled" but it does find the item.

It also doesn't select that row because I'm not show on the correct code for this.

I am a beginner, and will need help in explanation's for some issues.

Please help!

Edit: This is the details of the exception:

System.NullReferenceException was unhandled
  HResult=-2147467261

  • I have had a look and cant seem to make sense of it. I have given references to all my points in the code. – Hulk Smash 93 Dec 01 '16 at 10:04
  • If you can debug the code shown without hitting a NullReferenceException, it must happen somewhere else. Read the exception details to find out where exactly things break. Include the stacktrace text and exception message to your question to help us help you. – Filburt Dec 01 '16 at 11:07
  • I've added the exception message to my question – Hulk Smash 93 Dec 01 '16 at 11:47
  • Can you please mark line 39 in code for us? – Filburt Dec 01 '16 at 11:56
  • I have done this now – Hulk Smash 93 Dec 01 '16 at 13:29
