Please specify which line the exception is thrown on. Also, you can check for yourself which reference on that line is Nothing and then work backwards to where you expect an object to be assigned.

The line at which thw error is thrown

Please specify which line the exception is thrown on. Also, you can check for yourself which reference on that line is Nothing and then work backwards to where you expect an object to be assigned.

the line of code where this error is being thrown is :
wsheet.Cells(iX + 1, iY + 1) = DataGridView1(iY, iX).Value.ToString

i tried to solve it but not done so please try to help me out.

So which reference on that line is Nothing? A reference is basically anyhing with a dot after it, i.e. anything you're trying to access a member of.

thanks
actually the problem is
wsheet.Cells(iX + 1, iY + 1).value = DataGridView1(iY, iX).Value.ToString
actually intelligence does nt show the "value" is not an member of worksheet but my assumption is values of datagridview is assigned to excel worksheet cells and the error is Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
so can u tell me where is the problem.

First, we should take a look at what that error actually means

here:

wsheet.Cells(iX + 1, iY + 1) = DataGridView1.[B]Item[/B](iY, iX).Value.ToString
