Object reference not set to an instance of an object
This error happens when you try to use a property or call a method of an object that is null. More details:

A simple use of Visual studio DEBUGGER can tell you the object because of which it is happening. Just look at the stack trace and put a debugger on that line. Check the objects of that line and see if any one is null and you are trying to use that objects property. Handle the same.
For now, based on what you say
"Iam getting error in this line " ddlyear.Items.Add(new ListItem(intCount.ToString(), intCount.ToString()));"."
Since intCount is initialized, it cannot be null. Only reason looks like
ddlyear
object must be
NULL
. This means, there was no 'DropdownList4' in the row here. Check it and resolve.
