Hello Sir,
Well I am here after a great time. I was trying myself to complete the application but finally I got stuck in emailing.
Well I am able to send mails to both (admin and customer).
But problem is that I'm having problem in showing exact item details.
I am sending email on the click of Finalize Order button in checkout.aspx page. Problem is that I am not able to access the shopping cart placeholder. How I can use it.
I am using the following method of sending email......

Code:

Protected Sub btnFinalize_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnFinalize.Click
        If Page.IsValid And Profile.ProfileCompleted = True Then

            Try
                Dim orderedItems As List(Of OrderedProduct) = ShopManager.ShoppingCart.Items
                Dim orderAmount As Decimal =   ShopManager.ShoppingCart.Total
Dim shoppingCart As ShoppingCart = ShopManager.ShoppingCart()
                Dim theCustomer As Customer = _
                  New Customer(CType(Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey, Guid), _
                  Profile.FirstName, Profile.LastName, Profile.Address.Street, _
                  Profile.Address.ZipCode, Profile.Address.City, Profile.Address.Country)
                Dim orderId As Integer = ShopManager.FinalizeOrder(theCustomer)

                Dim fileName As String = Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/OrderForm.txt")
               
                Dim mailBody As String = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(fileName)
                mailBody = mailBody.Replace("##First_Name##", Profile.FirstName)
               other place hoders goes here...........
 mailBody = mailBody.Replace("##OrderNumber##", orderId) 'Working    
            mailBody = mailBody.Replace("##OrderAmount##", orderAmount) 'working    
            'mailBody = mailBody.Replace("##ShoppingCart##", HttpContext.Current.Session   ("ShoppingCart")) ' not working
                Dim myMessage As New MailMessage()
                myMessage.Subject = "Order Request From Web Site"
                myMessage.Body = mailBody

                myMessage.From = New MailAddress("[email protected]", "Sender Name")
                myMessage.To.Add(New MailAddress("[email protected]", "Receiver Name"))

                Dim mySmtpClient As New SmtpClient()
                Try
                    mySmtpClient.EnableSsl = True
                    mySmtpClient.Send(myMessage)
                
                Catch ex As Exception
                    lblFailure.Visible = True
                    btnFinalize.Visible = False
                End Try

                'lblMessage.Visible = True
                'FormTable.Visible = False
                Response.Redirect("ThankYou.aspx?OrderNumber=" & _
                                        orderId.ToString() & "&Total=" & orderAmount.ToString("c"))
                'Helpers.SendConfirmationMessage(ShopManager.ShoppingCart, orderId, Membership.GetUser().Email)
            Catch ex As Exception
                lblFailure.Visible = True
                btnFinalize.Visible = False
            End Try
        Else
            Response.Redirect("~/UserDetails.aspx")

        End If
    End Sub

So please tell me how I can access property for ShoppingCart placeholder
Any suggestion is most required and this is the only thing that is left
Thank you..........

My oh my, you haven't learned a lot from our previous discussions, have you? Why is it that if you want help, you're not helping us by prodiing the information we need to solve your problem?

For example, define "not working". Do you get an error? If so, which one? What happens when you step through the code line by line? What do you see? How did you setup the application? When are you executing this code? What do you see when you look at the session object in the debugger? When you look at the template file, what data does it contain? Are you sure there is stuff in the shopping cart?

Etc etc etc and so on and so forth. Pfffff
