Introduction
This application is a Shopping Cart where users can select items and place an order. I have
added the features of login, and adding new users if user does not exist. Validations are
performed wherever needed like email format validation, zipcode etc.

Fig. 1
Database: For the purpose, I have used the NorthWind database and SQL Server.

The two main tables used are:

1. Products table
2. Order Details table.

I have used two classes:

Collapse
public class CartRow
{
public string id;
public string name;
public string price;
public string items;
};
public class Cart
{
public System.Collections.ArrayList list = new ArrayList(20);
};

The two main web-forms are Main.aspx and CheckOut.aspx. Main.aspx contains a grid
showing all items present in the products table along with the price per unit and the quantity
per unit. Fig 1 shows the Main.aspx page, where user can select items from the products grid
(left). As he selects an item, it is added to his cart and the item is displayed in the right panel.
The total price is displayed in the label above. As the user adds more items to his cart, the
recalculated price is shown. Upon clicking the clear cart button, the cart gets empty.

If the user now wants to finalize the order and presses the CheckOut button, he is redirected
to the Login.aspx page (Fig 2). I have set the default username as �user� for the sample and
password is �u�.

Fig 2.

And finally, the user is asked to enter the Credit Card number, billing PIN code and his email
address. It does the client side validations and then confirms the order placed by sending a
mail to the user as shown in (Fig 3).

And the order is finalized. For more advanced shopping cart, this information plus the item
information has to be stored in some database.

I can send you the database. Do you have any experience or knowledge of C# or ASP
dot Net?

Author of this Script is not actively participating on this site. 14:08 20 Nov '10  
 The author has not responded to any post here. I added the author to my
msn messenger email contact list. But still no reponse. Let's try and help
each other, perhaps collectively we can resolve each others issues. Reply to
this post with your e-mail and let's setup a group chat on msn messenger. It
would be helpful if someone with knowledge of asp and c# participate.
Remember why you came to this site, and downloaded this script. Let's
work together

Three things about this script I need to modify or fix. Seperating the shopping cart table
from the products page. I want the shopping cart to show in an iframe. I already
accomplished this by targeting the iframe, but the products table also displays there. It
updates at the target, not on the main page. But then, the shopping cart also displays on the
main page. Which also happens to be an iframe.

I need to setup multiple categories, so when a link such as cameras is clicked, another table
is queried displaying the cameras table. I did create another table and named it cameras
within the northwind database. Then copied main.aspx renaming it as cameras.aspx. I did
the same for main.aspx.cs and main.aspx.resx. I then edited cameras.aspx and named the
codefile to cameras.aspx.cs. Changed the queries from products to cameras inside both
files. But it didn't work, the application errored.

I need to have images in the products table, but have not been successful at adding them.
Also, the add to cart link would be more friendly to the touch screen if it were a graphic
button. A details page would be helpful to customers to provide more information than the
items name and price.

A couple of other things I noticed was the order details are not included in the emails or the
database. Also, new users are not validated or added to the database. Although, I
commented out the login page so that the next page that loads is the checkout. But then, I
don't require credit card numbers or billing zip codes from the users right now. I am using
this on my intranet in my store as a shopping portal, and have designed this to be used
from a touch screen.. After orders are submitted, they are sent to my email server. I use
popup peeper, it checks emails every single minute. Then pops up like msn messenger
notifying me of a new email. I open the emails and pull the items from the stock room,
then scan them at the register and complete the sale. Upon submission of order, the
shopping cart should cleared. If

User ID and Password + Order details DGamer 11:09 10 Nov '10  

Has anyone figured out why new user names and passwords are not stored or validated in
the database? Why are the order details not included in the email after order submission.
Also, the database is not recording the order details. :

Why isn't this working?

sqlDataAdapter1.Fill(dataSet11);
DataRow row1 = dataSet11.Tables["Order Details"].NewRow();

I deleted the order details dbo.table contents. Then tested some transactions, database
records nothing.

Regarding Database DGamer 18:31 1 Nov '10  

To everyone requesting the database, it is an example database that is
downloadable called Northwind. Search for Northwind Database, download, and
attach in MSSQL. Of course I have done all of this, but have not been able to
successfully connect to my database. I edited main.aspx.cd to change the
sqlconnectionstring, there was also a error in this line. Then I edited web.config
file to change the data source. Still doesn't work. If you have successfully tested
this script, let me know what you did please, step by step.

thanks seokid 12:25 6 Aug '10  

We're looking to make a shopping cart at my workplace. It's hard to figure out where to
begin, this really points me in the right direction and gives an idea on how to make it work
with our own database.

Thanks again.
