I am developing a wpf application. here i have to populate 2nd combo box based on the first combo box selection.
my xaml as follows:
<Grid Height="194" Width="486">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="82*" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="404*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="72*" />
<RowDefinition Height="122*" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Label Content="Category" Height="28" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="13,36,0,0" Name="lblCategory" VerticalAlignment="Top" />
<TextBox Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="18,32,0,0" Name="txtScenario" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="343" Text="{Binding Scenario_Desc}" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" />
<Button Content="Save" Command="{Binding SaveData}" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="194,71,0,0" Name="btnSave" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" />
<Button Content="Reset" Command="{Binding ClearData}" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="286,71,0,0" Name="btnReset" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" />
<Label Content="Sub Category" Height="28" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="13,70,0,0" Name="lblSubCategory" VerticalAlignment="Top" Grid.RowSpan="2" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" />
<ComboBox Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="18,36,0,0" Name="cboCategory" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="343"
ItemsSource="{Binding Path=Category}"
DisplayMemberPath="Category_Desc"
SelectedValuePath="Category_Id"
SelectedValue="{Binding Path=Category_Id, Mode=TwoWay}"
SelectedIndex="0"
Text="{Binding Category_Desc}" Grid.Column="1">
<i:Interaction.Triggers>
<i:EventTrigger EventName="SelectionChanged">
<i:InvokeCommandAction Command="{Binding CategorySelected}"
CommandParameter="{Binding SelectedValue, ElementName=cboCategory}"/>
</i:EventTrigger>
</i:Interaction.Triggers>
</ComboBox>
<Label Content="Scenario" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Height="28" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="12,32,0,0" Name="lblScenario" VerticalAlignment="Top" Grid.Row="1" />
<ComboBox Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="343" Grid.Column="1" Grid.RowSpan="2" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=SubCategory}" Margin="18,70,0,0" Name="cboSubCategory"
DisplayMemberPath="Sub_Category_Desc"
SelectedValue="{Binding Path=Sub_Category_Id}"
SelectedValuePath="Sub_Category_Id"
Text="{Binding Sub_Category_Desc}" />
</Grid>
When I save, I want to clear all data and show the form to allow fresh selection.
When I save, throws an error.
System.NullReferenceException was unhandled
Message=Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
StackTrace: RelayCommand`1.CanExecute(Object parameter) .....

my view model code is as follows.

foreach (CategoryModel cat in categoryModelList)

I want to get the parameter value from combo box one and use that to populate to the second.
First time loading is file, when saving, the CategorySelected commnd expects a parameter, but it is assigned null. How to handle the null value in the RelayCommand....
