Can the placeholder control binds placeholder at run time?
I want to bind different placeholder according to the
language the user choose.

switch(CheckChannelName)
{
case "english":
HtmlPlaceholderChannelBased.ID = "HtmlPlaceholderEnglish";
HtmlPlaceholderChannelBased.PlaceholderToBind
= "EnglishPlchldr";
break;
case "japanese":
HtmlPlaceholderChannelBased.ID = "HtmlPlaceholderJapanese";
HtmlPlaceholderChannelBased.PlaceholderToBind
= "JapanesePlchldr";
break;
}

I had such placeholder definitions in the template
already. But simply it's doesn't work..What's wrong with
it?

Hi Charlie,

yes it is possible using the following code:

HtmlPlaceholderControl test;
test = new HtmlPlaceholderControl();
test.PlaceholderToBind = "Ph1";
test.ID = "MyDynPhControl";
test.DataBind();

So you need to add the DataBind() method call to your code.

Cheers,
Stefan.

Thanks Stefan, but the placeholder didn't change still.
the placeholdercontrol just keep binding to the old one.
How do I know the current binding of a placeholdercontrol
by coding?

Moreover, what's the differences between
PlaceholderToBind  and BoundPlaceholder??

Thanks!!!

Hi Charlie,

BoundPlaceholder will give you the info about the current binding. This
property is read-only.
PlaceholderToBind is the property exposed to VS.NET where this value can be
set.

Cheers,
Stefan.
