Null Reference Exception in MVC

[geraldf]

Hi, I try to load a partial MVC view when I press a button.
the Button Code is here

 <ext:Button ID="b1" runat="server" Icon="Accept" Text="Button1" IconAlign="Left"
                                                    Cls="btnLeft">
                                                    <DirectEvents>
                                                        <Click Url="/Shared/ContractForm" >
                                                            <ExtraParams>
                                                                 <ext:Parameter Name="containerId" Value="App.Panel2" Mode="Value" />
                                                            </ExtraParams>
                                                        </Click>
                                                    </DirectEvents>
                                                </ext:Button>

the Controller Code is here

 public ActionResult ContractForm(string containerId)
        {
            Ext.Net.MVC.PartialViewResult r = new Ext.Net.MVC.PartialViewResult(containerId);

            r.ContainerId = containerId;
            r.RenderMode = RenderMode.AddTo;
            r.SingleControl = true;
            return r;

           
        }

and the error code is here:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

this problem was my own fault.

I did not had a view file witch corresponds with the action name. Creating it solved the problem
