Hi Dear

When I use LayoutTemplate  in design time it`s work correctly but in runtime when i use "Page.LoadTemplate" method for loading template when DataBind() fired it thrown exception :

"

The RadListView control does not have an item placeholder specified.

"

RadListView1.PageSize = (int)contentList.PageSize;
RadListView1.DataSource = contents;
RadListView1.LayoutTemplate = Page.LoadTemplate(contentList.LayoutTemplate);
RadListView1.ItemTemplate = Page.LoadTemplate(contentList.ItemTemplate);
RadListView1.VirtualItemCount = totlaCount;
RadListView1.DataBind();

Best Regards.

Hello,

The error is cause because RadListView could not find the place holder control in the layout template.
This is due to the fact that the UserControl that is used as layout template is INamingContainer and FindControl does not resolve correctly.

However this is expected behavior you can even replicate it by using ListView instead of RadListView control.

To have this working you can inherit RadListView and override RetrivePlaceHolderControl method and provide custom implementation for finding control in container.

Tanks.

[ToolboxData("<{0}:myRadListView runat=server></{0}:myRadListView>")]
public class myRadListView : Telerik.Web.UI.RadListView
{
    protected override Control RetrivePlaceHolderControl(Control container, string placeholderId)
    {
        return container.Controls[0].FindControl(placeholderId);
    }
}
