Hi Chandrakant,

Write your code as below.

C#

protected void DropDownList4_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   int month;
   month= DropDownList4.SelectedIndex  ;
   int year=Convert.ToInt32 (DropDownList3.SelectedItem.Text)  ;
   SignUp obj=new SignUp();
   int p = 31;
   ListItem li = new ListItem("0","0");
   DropDownList5.Items.Add(li);
   switch (month)
   {
      case 0:
           obj.days( ref p);
           break;
    }
 
public  void days(ref int day)
{
   for (int i = 1; i <=day; i++)
   { 
       ListItem li = new ListItem(i.ToString(),i.ToString());
       DropDownList5.Items.Add(li); 
   } 
}

The line that is throwing the error:

C#

DropDownList5.Items.Add(i.ToString() );

Has only two parts that use a method:

C#

i.ToString()

And

C#

DropDownList5.Items.Add(...);

The first is using an integer, which is not a nullable type, so it can't be that.
The second is using a collection of an object - if the object exists, then it will always have an Items Collection (because it is constructed as part of the DropDownList constructor) so the only nullable object is DropDownList5

Look at your other code - you need to work out how you get into the days method withput a value in DropDownList5 - where do you set it's value? What do you set it to? What are you doing when you call days?

Use the debugger - examine your stack trace, and look at the variables involved.
We can't solve this - you have the information we don't!
