Hi,
While editing a template, I get this error when I click on Preview.

Saveplaceholder method failed. page needs to be in update mode..

Any ideas hwo to fix these? i am using custom placeholders on my page and
override the saveplaceholder method.

I added a if clause to prevent any save action depending on the preview
mode. However, that did not help...

Hi Anabhra,

it sounds that the code in your custom placeholder control is not correct.
Either you are updating not only in the SavePlaceholderContent method or
your code in the SavePlaceholderContent method behaves badly.

Without more details about the code I cannot comment on the possible reason.
I would suggest to debug the custom placeholder control and the post the
lines of code that cause the problem.

Cheers,
Stefan

Stefan,

This is what I do:
CType(objPlaceHolder, XmlPlaceholder).XmlAsString = "<root><value>"
& strValue & "</value></root>"


This works for a textbox custom placeholder , a calendar placeholder but not
for a checkbox placeholder !! The strValue = _chkBox.checked.tostring.

If I comment this line out, then the preview page shows no error.

Why would the check box be any different?

Thanks,

Hi Anabhra,

no idea. What is the content of strValue?

Cheers,
Stefan

"True" or "false". It is a checkbox placeholder control that binds to an xml
placeholder.

Hi Anabhra,

that sounds weird.
You should open a support case for this.

Cheers,
Stefan
