I have just written the following code to prevent an author saving a posting
without a valid start date.  However in the following code, in which cancel
is definitely set to true with a blank date (I have traced this and e.Cancel
is definitely being executed), pages are still saved.

any ideas


private void  DatePickerPlaceholder1_SavingContent(obj
ect sender,
PlaceholderControlSavingEventArgs e)

{

bool ValidDate = true;

DateTime TestDate;

Posting CurrentPosting = CmsHttpContext.Current.Posting;



try

{

TestDate =
System.Convert. ToDateTime(((HtmlPlaceholder)CurrentPost
ing.Placeholders[
"StartDate"]).Text);

}

catch

{

ValidDate = false;

}



if (!ValidDate)

{

e.Cancel = true;

}



}

Hi,

this is not a valid way to prevent saving of a posting.
It will only prevent saving of the current placeholder. All other
placeholders earlier in the event change already have been saved at this
time.

To validate content you should implement a validator similar to this one:
