I am using following code for sum of grid view column.
VB
Dim a, b, c As Decimal
        For i = 0 To GridItem.Rows.Count
            a = Convert.ToDecimal(GridItem.Rows(i).Cells(7).Value.ToString())
            c = c + a
        Next
        
        txtBasic.Text = c

System throws an error:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
after debug the code I understand the problem.I add 2 rows in grid view.
Problem is system shows Gridview1.Rows.Count=3.
as per count for loop iterate 3 times 3rd time system throws an error:Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

1st time I entered =500.2nd time=2000.at second iteration of for loop value of c=2500.

Whenever you work with an object hierarchy, you should always perform an existence check before attempting to drill down. That way you eliminate issues like what you are encountering here.
For example.
VB
Dim a, b, c As Decimal
For i = 0 to GridItem.Rows.Count
If !IsNothing(GridItem.Rows(i)) And !IsNothing(GridItem.Rows(i).Cells(7) Then
   If Decimal.TryParse( GridItem.Rows(i).Cells(7).Value, out a ) Then
      c = c + a
   End If
End If
txtBasic.Text = c.ToString()
