I have a custom SingleImagePlaceholder that checks the image size and width.
If the dimensions are incorrect it sets the sizevalidtor and widthvalidator
controls to false and with the OnSavingContent method cancels the placeholde
r
save.

The problem is even though the validation controls have been set to false
the page still does a postback to the server.  However, I noticed if I go
edit an existing posting and click the save dialog the validators work, the
error message is displayed and the submit is stopped.  On Save and Exit it
does not work.

Is there a way to stop the submit?  If so, what method should I add it to?

I have included code from my custom control.











protected override void  OnSavingContent(PlaceholderControlSaving
EventArgs e)
{
if (this.AuthoringChildControlsAreAvailable)
{
EnsureChildControls();
if (!IsImageValid())
{
e.Cancel = true;
}
else
{
base.OnSavingContent(e);
}
}
}

Hi,

this issue is covered in chapter 9 of the following book which covers
placeholder validation in detail:
