I use MS Expression to style default FeatureDataForm in ArcGIS API for MS 2.0 and it works. but it doesn't work when it's upgrated to 2.1 and gives a unhandled exception - system.nullReferenceException. Please help! Appreciate!

Xiuju,

Thank you for your report. We are aware of this issue and currently looking into it. The fix will be available soon.
In the meantime you can use "CommitButton" as the name for your "SaveButton" button in your custom template to workaround the issue. We apologize for the inconvenience.
