Hi everyone!

I'm at Chapter 10 that is about checkout an order.

Before the step of checking out, It shows the list that I order in my shopping cart. However, once I click on 'place order' button to checkout, (I have to go through processing of logging in), there is NO ITEM existed in my shopping cart anymore.

I think there might be some errors in Checkout.aspx section.

Any thoughts?!

Thanks so much. Hope to hear from you soon!

I FOUND WHAT AN ERROR IS and PLEASE CONFIRM IT'S A MISTAKE OF THE CODE !!!!

As I said, I've finished Chapter 10, and found out the error of my previous email.

I did debug over and over and found out that the error is from stored procedure CreateOrder in chapter 9 (page 301). This sp serves 2 purposes:
   1. Create new records in the Orders table
   2. Empty shopping cart

When I click on the 'Place Order' button, it triggers this sp CreateOrder. This is the reason why i can't view the list of my shopping cart in the Checkout page, because all of the data
regarding to this session was removed from shoppingcart due to the sp CreateOrder.

I've removed this 'emty shopping cart' from this sp CreateOrder for now. However, please let me know!!!!

Thanks so much!

Best regards,

Thanks for posting your findings guys. I am at chapter 8. There are
many errors in the book. There is no errata available for this book. I have tried to contact the writer of this book, Cristian Darie but haven't heard back from him yet. There is definitely need of errata for this book.

Thanks,

Hi!

Has anyone here succesfully made it past chapeter 10?

I am stuck at the same place atth3027 mentions. However, I do not this his solution is correct.

By removing the line -- EXEC EmptyShoppingCart @CartID -- from the stored procedure CreateOrder, the shopping cart is never cleared.

This really a shame, because other than this step and a little problem I am having in the admin section this application working great.

Hey everyone. I seem to be having a problem in chap 9 entering the createorder stored procedure. When I try saving it in visual studio, it gives me an error. Anyone have a solution?
Thanks

Try this one:

The "Private Sub placeOrderButton_Click" code in ShoppingCart.aspx.vb shall look like this:

Private Sub placeOrderButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
            ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles placeOrderButton.Click

        ' Redirect to checkout page
        Response.Redirect("Checkout.aspx")
    End Sub


So remove everything else in Private Sub placeOrderButton_Click in ShoppingCart.aspx.vb

Don't remove anything else from any sp or ShoppingCart.vb!!!!!
