I have a problem whereby the following always results in an
object-not-set-to-reference-of-object error:

this.objCom.Parameters["@Thumbnail"].Value 
((HtmlInputFile)e.Item.FindControl("Thumbnail")).PostedFile.FileName.ToStrin
g();

However, there's very much an HTML control of input type file (and runat
server) in the EditItemTemplate.

Any clues here?
