c# - Null reference thrown when object is not null mvc 6 -

this question has answer here:

• what nullreferenceexception, , how fix it? 29 answers

i'm working on asp.net 5 reader application needs display files stored in memory, stored list of paths each chapter. pass model containing chapter name , list of paths. in view acces using this:

@foreach (var item in model.paths) {     string path = item.p;     var array = path.split('\\');     var filename = array[array.length - 1];     // code removed brevity } 

when test "system.nullreferenceexception object reference not set instance of object." on last code line shown, if variables not null

update had forgot link whole project here

update 2 i've tried suggested me (thank lot support, guys great) but, unfortunately error keeps occuring whenever try access filename.

i've tried firstly see if model.paths null, making echo path, , went along nicely, use system.io.path.getfilename method threw same error, reason seems every attempt access filename rejected

update 3

i've moved logic in controller, code in foreach says:

@foreach (var item in model.paths) {     <img src="~/images/@item.p" alt="alternate text" /> } 

but still throws same error

final update i'm sorry have taken time, found error in different part of view, error-reporter reported wrong line

thank anyway, loved support!!!

there potential nullreferenceexception on 2 of lines:

here:

@foreach (var item in model.paths) 

...if model null

here:

string path = item.p; 

...if item null

so based on limited info given 1 of 2 need fix.
