I cannot figure out why I any of these methods (load_qc_form(); enable_qc_form();disable_qc_form();) I get the “Message: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.” message.
How can calling a method return null??
Here is my entire code. I am new to C# and am trying to update an existing page. Could someone point me in the right direction?
I want to be able to call these methods from anywhere in the application.

So I need to be able to call the method to test my first dropdown list.
Thank you in advance for your help!!
The problems was there was a typo in the form ascx page. So essentially I was declaring a box that didn’t exist!! As with most programming problem the devil is in the details!! Thank you all for your help. As it turns out I just need to learn how to type!!
