Shoppingcart code

Eriskyne · May 26th, 2010, 10:14 AM

Hi there, I still use and love this book, and I'm hoping someone can help - I have built and used the shoppingcart code and it works perfectly - however when I create the code within a web application project (VS2010), I get an error of "Unable to cast object of type 'SHOPPINGCART' to type 'fasc.SHOPPINGCART.":

Code:

HttpContext.Current.Session("Shoppingcart") = New SHOPPINGCART()
End If
Return CType(HttpContext.Current.Session("ShoppingCart"), SHOPPINGCART)
End Get
End Property

What am I missing? I'm converting a website I used the code in to the web application project model, but I'm stuck at this bit. Very frustrating!

Hi there,

Sounds like the class SHOPPINGCART (is it really in all caps?) is defined twice. Try debugging your code and use the Watch window to find out the fully qualified type name for New SHOPPINGCART() and for HttpContext.Current.Session("ShoppingCart")

Cheers,
