Hi Santosh,

The only way that could happen is if you are setting that property after the SyntaxEditor has been disposed, because there is no longer a Document reference and the Text property's setter just does:

document.Text = value;

We'll add a null ref check on document for the next version but you should look into why the Document has been nulled out, which is only likely if you are disposing the control then continuing to use it after, which is bad.
