This error occurs when you are trying to perform an operation on an attribute that is null.
The best way to find out which object this could be, is to debug your source code line by line, check where the error occurs and then figure out the exact object.

The problem is that,controls on aspx page gives an error in design view of aspx page,
Error is:
Error Creating Control - PayButtonObject reference not set to an instance of an object.

so i can not debug the button,where it goes.
kindly recomend me a solution plzzzz

Abhinav, I voted 4, but if you remove incorrect word "attribute"...
This is the null instance of the reference object, when you try to call it's method/property.
