I think that (ddlColors.SelectedItem) is nothing which giving you this
exception. Are you populating the dropdown in on page load event? check that
you are not populating it under (if not page.isPostback) because then your
dropdown will be empty.
obs: if this didn't help you, post the rest of your code and i'll help.
