how to use ShoppingCart

[ZaR]

Hello ;)
With the sample solution, I was able to understand the "markup part"
with buttons, grid, templates, .. (great work!) and how to customize
the display of the cart.
But I don't understand how to really "use" it... :(
I mean... in code-behind for instance ?

Should I declare a kind of Cart object?
How to link aspx presentation with business logic? the provider?

I hope I made myself clear :S

Thanks :D

Hi !

 

You do not need to declare an instance of the object "cart" because all its methods are static and uses the provider that can be the default or your.

The provider by default uses the ASP sessions to store items, if you want to use a different method, for example store information in database or other we must create another provider inheriting from "cartprovider"Marc

In your business logic layer you can use this code for example to convert Cart as Order

 

Order myOrder = new Order();

 

foreach(var item in Serialcoder.ShoppingCart.Cart.List)

{

      OrderItem myOrderItem = new OrderItem();

      myOrderItem.ProductId = item.ProductId;

      ...

      myOrder.OrderItemCollection.Add(myOrderItem);
