Considering all the install problems, should I even bother downloading any of these kits?
Can I just get the raw files, instead of running the .msi install?
Lastly, can the commerce site run using access?

Thanks,
LU

The install problems are the tip of the iceberg.  Chances are you'll have an uneventful install, but then be faced with turning these kits into something that you could actually use, which is a tall order.  The kits on the www.asp.net site contain old code with limited functionality that needs a lot of work to be made useful, and you'll need to know a fair amount about coding up projects such as these in order to make those changes.

To get the source code, run the installer, copy the files to some place on your drive, then uninstall.  The installer is necessary because it runs several SQL Server setup scripts that build the database, etc.  Plus, it provides an avenue for a simple and clean uninstall.

An Access version of the commerce kit is available at http://www.nerdssoftware.com/store_download.aspx

Also, I've got an Access version of the GrocerToGo web site that comes with the quickstart samples.  Let me know if you're interested, and I'll hook you up.

If this is a storefront please send. 

Is this something you have modified at all?

I need to add a way to use paypal to a storefront. 

Any suggestions, tips, hints, would be great.

This is the GrocerToGo ecommerce sample that ships with the .NET Framework SDK quickstart samples.  It has been modified only to work with Access, and has not been modified in any other way.  You may download it from http://www.jakeburkey.com/documents/aspnet_forum/IGo.zip  Note that it is not a self-installing package.  You must unzip it to your web root, set it as an ASP.NET virtual directory using the IIS admin console, then compile it by doubleclicking on the compileIgo.bat file.  You may need to adjust the directory paths in that file if yours differ from the defaults.

I'm in the process of developing a PayPal-enabled ecommerce site right now, but it will be so specialized that it won't be of much use to others.  I'll see about making a generalized version if I can find the time, but it won't happen for months if in fact it happens at all.

I came across another ecommerce package developed from the commerce sample, at http://www.onezeromedia.com/news.aspx?id=2003, but I don't think it has PayPal.

If you visit the developers page on the PayPal site, they have an instruction manual for adding the functionality to your site, but it will be a bit of work.  That holds in general - any program you can get for free will involve some effort to make it work for your purposes.

Jake,

Thanks for the copy!
I'll probably unzip and drop it into a new project in visual studio.net and then build solution from there.  Iam assuming it works, better than the starter kits?

Good luck with your site and pay pal. 

I did notice the developer site pages on paypal.  However, it does seem all there samples are in C# and I code VB.  I'll keep searching for something to use (FREE) while I try to code it into the grocertogo.

If I get something going I'll post.

Very help. 
Thank you,
BIGLU

I should have mentioned in my last post - it will probably work without recompiling.  Try it first and then compile if you have trouble.

The code for the GrocerToGo site is much simpler than the Commerce starter kit, even though it has much of the same functionality, and I particularly like the way it shows the shopping cart contents at the side of the page.  GrocerToGo doesn't have stored procedures, though, so you'll want to make sure that any textbox entry fields are covered by some sort of validation to prevent SQL injection attacks.

PayPal actually has a version of the Commerce kit available for download from their site, but I found it to be so buggy that I gave up and decided to build my own.  The forum on PayPal for their version of the kit is pretty worthless, and there is no documentation for the Paypal mods that have been added to the program.

good luck with it,
jake

Since it is for access I don't have to worry about the injection attacks right?  Once I port it over to SQL server then I'll have to put the scripts into stored procs (shouldn't be a problem).

Funny comment about the Use-Less-Ness of the other products...I guess they (PayPal) are making so much money they don't care about the Use-Ful-Ness of their kits or forums.  Either way, I'll have to code it to some type of store or purchase page.

Thanks for all the help and the laughs,
BIGLU

BIGLU,

Access is susceptible to SQL injection depending upon the ASP.NET code.  The best article I've seen on this is available at http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/09/SQLInjection/default.aspx

I looked at the GrocerToGo code, and it looks like it should be safe from such attacks.  They've got regular expression validation on the inputs, and the quantity of each item is stored as a typed property of the OrderItem class, rather than as a string, so that looks good, too.
