Your code is vulnerable to SQL Injection[^].

NEVER use string concatenation to build a SQL query. ALWAYS use a parameterized query.

Which line of code is the problem? Your description doesn't really make sense.

string name = GridView2.DataKeys[e.RowIndex].Values["Name"].ToString();
this line gives error object reference not set to an instance of an object

Just check for null first.

1 solution

before creating the Update query, check whether gridview's column is not null or empty then only create update query for these two last columns.
