Hi.
I need to create a xmlPlaceholderControl in a template ascx file. I can
create this control in my template from the template manager but when I go t
o
drag it from the toolbar to my ascx template file there aren't any kind of
XML placeholder to drag.

How can I use this kind of placeholders?
Can you help me pease?

Thanks. Simon.

Hi Simon,

The XMLPlacheolder is used to store data - there is no out-of-the-box
interface into it.

What is your specific requirement?

Regards

Hi Simon,

you are mixing up terms.
There are placeholder controls and placeholder definitions.

MCMS ships with a XmlPlaceholder definition but not with an XmlPlaceholder
Control.
The reason is simple: XML is just data. And how the data needs to be
presented and edited depends on YOUR schema.

So there is no way to ship a XmlPlaceholder control. You need to create one
that fits to your requirements.

Cheers,
Stefan

Hi Angus:

I need to include some content that is inside a XML file into my posting.
When the editor use a determinate template must have a placeholder that
accepts this xml file. After that, i want to show only the information that
is between some labels.

The problem is that I can't bind the placeholder definition of the template
with the aspx file because in the aspx file a can't drag a XmlPlaceholder
control (it not exists).

Can you show me how can I do this?

Thanks. Simon.

Hi Stefan:

Now I think that understand the differences between the XML definition and
the XML control.

Nevertheless I don't know how to create a new XML control. Do you know if
exists any URL with some example that I can see?

Thanks. Simon.

Hi Simon,

as indicated: the control needs to fit exactly to the content of the XML.
So code others have written will usually not fit your requirements.

I would suggest to check all the custom placeholder controls available here:

=100

Maybe you will find something that is similar to what you are going to
address and gives you a start to develop your own control.

Cheers,
Stefan
