erver error. Contact the site administrator. Source: Resolution Object Model

Hi Stephan
I am running out into a problem while submitting a posting.
I am using HTML Placeholders on the template there are some custom
properties.
There is TreeNodeCollection which we use to show the posting.

We are using the following code in btnTopSaveforPreview_Click()
posting.Approve();
AppContext.CommitAll();
posting.ReleaseOwnership();
AppContext.CommitAll();
On clicking the Preview button, btnTopSaveforPreview_Click() is invoked
We get a error "Exception: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException
Message: Server error. Contact the site administrator. Source:
Resolution Object Model at
Microsoft.ContentManagement.Interop.Publishing.IRcwPlaceholder.set_RawContent(String
RawContent) at
Microsoft.ContentManagement.Publishing.DefaultPlaceholderDatasource.set_RawContent(String
value) at
TF.ML.Online.ContentMgmtPub.userControls.Admin.CMAManageContentType.btnTopSaveforPreview_Click(Object
sender, EventArgs e)"

Can you plz let me what exactly can be the problem?
This a bit urgent, as this is happening on one of the production
server....
Any help on this would be highly appreciated.

Regards
HS

I'm not Stefan but...

I have a few questions:
1) Is this a new posting or an existing posting?
2) What permissions does the user executing the code have?
3) Are you affecting the values inside the placeholders on the posting?
4) Is the application a web-based application or WinForm?

It's a little unclear exactly what you're trying to accomplish and
what's happening, in code, beyond the snippet your provided.

Hi HS,

the call stack shows that a placeholder is being updated from inside the
btnTopSaveforPreview event.
And here something goes wrong.

Is there some code you did not list below?
Or are there workflow events registered? Then please disable them and test
again.

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi,

never use datasource.rawcontent to update a placeholder!
See here for details:

http://blogs.technet.com/stefan_gos.../24/119546.aspx

Please replace these references with the correctly casted placeholder
references.

If the problem still occurs, please attach VS.NET as debugger to the process
and step through the routine to see which of the placeholders is causing the
problem.

Btw: the posting object is not initialized in this method. Where do you set
this object?
Which mode is the CmsContext in when this code is being executed?

Cheers,
Stefan

Thanx a lot Stefan for the info.
the posting object is not initialized in this method. Where do you set
this object? - its been initialized in the page load...
CmsContext Mode is in Saved mode...
I will just go thru ur reply and get back if any queires...

Thanks
Regards
HS

Hi HS,

that is not the CmsContext mode that is the Posting state.
If you are using the CmsHttpContext then I assume that the mode is either
published or unpublished and not update.
Only in update mode you will be able to update placeholder content.

Please double check: CmsHttpContext.Current.Mode is what needs to be
checked.

Cheers,
Stefan
