I am getting the "NullReferenceException was unhandled by user code" exception shown at the bottom of this post when attempting to add PropertyType to a Member Type. Here is my code and the line causing the exception is marked with <<<<<<<<<<<<< below.
Any assistance solving this would be VERY much appreciated.
IDataTypeService umbDataTypeService = AppHelpers.UmbServices().DataTypeService;
var allDataTypeDefinitions = umbDataTypeService.GetAllDataTypeDefinitions();
IDataTypeDefinition labelDataTypeDefinition = allDataTypeDefinitions.FirstOrDefault(dt => dt.PropertyEditorAlias == "Umbraco.Textbox");
PropertyType resetGUIDPropertyType = new PropertyType(labelDataTypeDefinition)
{
Name = "resetGUID",
Alias = "resetguid",
Key = Guid.NewGuid(),
PropertyEditorAlias = "resetguid",
SortOrder = 0,
Description = "The rain in spain"
};
MemberType customMemberType = (MemberType) umbMemberService.GetById(customIMemberId);
customMemberType.AddPropertyType(resetGUIDPropertyType); // <<<<<<<<<<<< EXCEPTION HAPPENS HERE
And here is the exception:
System.NullReferenceException was unhandled by user code

Never mind - I found my problem. Here is the corrected code with changes as indicated by comments
IDataTypeService umbDataTypeService = AppHelpers.UmbServices().DataTypeService;
var umbMemberTypeService = AppHelpers.UmbServices().MemberTypeService; // Had to add this line
var allDataTypeDefinitions = umbDataTypeService.GetAllDataTypeDefinitions();
IDataTypeDefinition labelDataTypeDefinition = allDataTypeDefinitions.FirstOrDefault(dt => dt.PropertyEditorAlias == "Umbraco.Textbox");
PropertyType resetGUIDPropertyType = new PropertyType(labelDataTypeDefinition)
{
Name = "resetGUID",
Alias = "resetguid",
Key = Guid.NewGuid(),
PropertyEditorAlias = "resetguid",
SortOrder = 0,
Description = "The rain in spain"
};
// MemberType customMemberType = (MemberType) umbMemberService.GetById(customIMemberId); // ERROR this line was and is wrong, resulted in customMemberType being null
MemberType customMemberType = (MemberType)umbMemberTypeService.GetAll(customIMemberTypeId).FirstOrDefault(); // This is the corrected line
customMemberType.AddPropertyType(resetGUIDPropertyType);
