I have read the posts on this topic, but I'm missing something. I have
a non-cms page on my site that I want to pull html out of a posting
but I can't get the caste change to work.

Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

*With this code, I get the error:" Value of type
'Microsoft.ContentManagement.Publishing.Placeholder' cannot be
converted to
'Microsoft.ContentManagement.WebControls.HtmlPlaceholderControl'."

*Also, this posting was created with a Telerik Rad Edito
HTMLPlaceholder

Private Sub GetCMSContent(ByVal pstrPostingName As String)
Dim phCMS As New
Microsoft.ContentManagement.WebControls.HtmlPlaceholderControl
Dim channel As Channel
Dim posting As Posting


channel = CmsHttpContext.Current.Searches.GetByPath("/channels/
yew")
For Each posting In channel.Postings
If posting.Name.ToLower.Equals(pstrPostingName.ToLower)
Then
phCMS = posting.Placeholders("phRadContent") <-----
ERROR HERE
Me.litCartCMSHTML.Text = phCMS.Html
Exit For
End If
Next
End Sub

Thanks,

John

Just another note, I have tried
phCMS = CType(posting.Placeholders("phRadContent"),
Microsoft.ContentManagement.WebControls.HtmlPlaceholderControl)

and I get the same error.

* The error is a "hover error" in Visual Studio, not a compile or run-
time error.

Hi John,

you need to cast for HtmlPlaceholder and define phCMS as HtmlPlaceholder.
Not as HtmlPlaceholderControl.

Cheers,
Stefan

OK, I was using the wrong namespace. I should have been looking in
Microsoft.ContentManagement.Publishing.Extensions.Placeholders.HtmlPlacehol=
der.

However, the HTML I got back was not what I expected. I was hoping
that this method would bring back clean HTML versus using the
rawcontent method. This content was created by a telerik control so I
have "~" everywhere.

To solve this problem, I tried the follwoing code, but I'm not getting
anything back from the phRad.HTML call. Can you help?

Private Function GetCMSContent(ByVal pstrPostingName As String, ByVal
pstrPlaceholderName As String, ByVal pstrChannelPath As String) As
String
Dim phCMS As
Microsoft.ContentManagement.Publishing.Extensions.Placeholders.HtmlPlacehol=
der
Dim phRad As New
Telerik.WebControls.RadEditorPlaceHolderControl
Dim channel As Channel
Dim posting As Posting
Dim strContent As String =3D ""


channel =3D
CmsHttpContext.Current.Searches.GetByPath(pstrChannelPath)
If Not IsNothing(channel) Then
For Each posting In channel.Postings
If
posting.Name.ToLower.Equals(pstrPostingName.ToLower) Then
phCMS =3D
posting.Placeholders.Item(pstrPlaceholderName)
phRad.BoundPlaceholder =3D phCMS
phRad.DataBind()
strContent =3D phRad.Html
Exit For
End If
Next
End If
Return strContent
End Function

Thanks,
John

Hi John,

do just this:

string content = phCMS.Html.Replace("~LT~","<").Replace("~GT~",">")

(this is C# code. You need to translate it into VB.NET)

Cheers,
Stefan
