ASP-Based Order Sitelet

Location in SDK: SDK\Samples\Classic ASP\Order Sitelet

The primary goal of the Order Sitelet is to demonstrate how to allow users to create an order, and then confirm and view the status of that order. For more information on order queuing, see Order Queuing Sample.

The Order Sitelet consists of a package file, which you unpack using Commerce Server Site Packager. The source code for the sitelet is included in this package. No modification of the source code is required to deploy the Order Sitelet to a server running Commerce Server 2002.

Similar functionality to that found in the ASP-Based Order Sitelet can be found in the ASP.NET-Based Order Sitelet. For more information, see ASP.NET-Based Order Sitelet.

Best coding practices are maintained in this sample, and the code represents the prescribed method of using the object model.

    Set g_ojbMsgMgr = Application ("MSCSMessageManager")
    Response.CharSet = "iso-8859-1"
End Sub
