Author catching the save event

I have a usercontrol which is placed on a template. Can I catch an event and
call a method in this user control when the posting is saved.

I'm sort of implementing my own variant of a placeholder control. One of the
main differences is that I do not bind it to a placeholder definition but I
save content by other means. It is not a problem to implement something like
the CreatePresentationChildControls method (or the
CreateAuthoringChildControls) and the LoadContent methods, but how do I
implement something like the SavePlaceholderContent method?

Thanks
Nikolaj

Hi Nikolaj,

this is possible.
See the sample on how to register the events:

Thanks! Now I can catch the event, but a bit too late. I have loaded a
usercontrol in authoring mode which contains some check boxes. It is the
content of these check boxes I need to save. But when my SaveContent method
is invoked the usercontrol is null. How does a "real" placeholdecontrol do
this trick? Has it got something to do with the EnsureChildControls method?

Hi Nikolaj,

yes the ensurechildcontrols method is required.
But you could also extract the content from the Request.Form array.

Cheers,
Stefan.
