If you use VWD 2008 Express, you get this error message for a very simple reason. You didn’t finish clicking through the set up of ListView.
Go click on that tiny little box at the upper righthand corner of the ListView with the > sign in it,
Go click on configure listview,
Select a layout and a style and a paging system,
(when I don’t want any of the selections, I click on the selections and then erase the clickings, ie you have to exercise through the page to get rid of the error, you don’t have to pick anything)
Click OK and the error will go away.
In the source view you will see a lot more code. The place marker term won’t be there.

What are you talking about??? Can you describe more clearly! What is itemContainer, what is itemPlaceholder?
