Hi

I am asking if it is possible to set the expiry date of the posting
programmatically in C#
I am using this code i want the users to set the expiry date using to
htmplaceholders one for the Datetime and one for the time.

cmsContext.CommitAll();
Posting conPosting = CmsHttpContext.Current.Posting;
conPosting.ExpiryDate = DateTime.Now;//It will be placeholder name.
conPosting.Approve();
cmsContext.CommitAll();

I getting this error.
Invalid mode for update. The requested action modifies the state of an
object and can only be performed when the session is in the 'Update'
mode.

The reason why i am doing that the users dont want to use page property
to set the expiry date
