Answer 1

It appears that when you remove an auction entry, it also removes your product, so when you do a re-direct to a page for editing that product, the product no longer exists and you get a null reference exception. Can you please check the database to make sure that your product still exists after you remove an auction? If that’s not the case, then can you please post action method for editing your product?

Edit

If your product gets deleted, then you need to specify your cascade action. Can you please post your ER digram for products and auctions?
