please help me

Answer 1

Make sure the the reference(studentLessonPlanArray) is instantiated before it is called. Also check this link.

Answer 2

Without knowing at what line the error occurs, and assuming that arrayNames and studentLessonPlanArray are properly initialized, it seems that there is no item selected in the List/DataGrid named arrayNames.
