Lab 2: Building and Implementing a Catalog

In this lab you will learn how to build a product catalog and implement it on your Web site using the development environment of Visual Studio. NET. After completing this lab, you will be able to do the following:

  • Create property, product, and category definitions.
  • Add new products, product variants, and product categories.
  • Categorize products.
  • Associate similar products into product families.
  • Search the site catalog.

  • Enumerate the catalog and display it.
  • Browse categories within the catalog.
  • Databind Commerce Server data to databinding controls.
