Forms Data Controls :: Trying To Set Default View Of Multiview On Page Load Programmatically

I need a way to change the ActiveViewIndex of a multiview control based on some query results. Right now I test to see if I have rows returned from my linq query. If so, set a certain view active. If no rows are returned, I would like to set a different view active. I would like to do this on Page_Load if possible.

Right now I get the fatal "Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error on page load with it bombing at line 12. My count is given a value at runtime so that is not the issue. Can anybody tell me why this is and how to get around it. Code is attached.

I also tried this both the pre render and Page_Init event but both yielded the same behavior with the Object reference not set to an instance of an object error. I can do this just fine in an onclick event for a button, but now I need a way to run a test and set the default view when the page loads. Seecode below

protected
void Page_Load(object sender,
EventArgs e)
{
eCrystalPSGDBDataContext psgDB =
new
eCrystalPSGDBDataContext();
int count = (from st
in psgDB.studyTbls
where st.patientid_i ==
Convert.ToInt32(Request.QueryString["PatientId"]) && st.studystatusid_i
== 1 select st).Count();if (count == 0)else
if (count == 0)
{
StudyInfoMultiView.ActiveViewIndex = 1;
}
else
{
StudyInfoMultiView.ActiveViewIndex = 2;
}
}
