I'm glad I didn't settle for that, because I have much more control over my pages and the data with the AspDotNetStorefront solution. I've had to learn SQL and .NET a little bit more than I knew already, but these other carts mask you from what's going on with your data. So now my site is live and I know it backwards and forwards.

The other most important thing for me was support. AspDotNetStorefront has been incredible. It seems they are always around, which is great since I seem to always be working on my site. It seems I never have to wait more than a couple of hours to get an answer from them.

Per their recommendation I went with EDTHosting. Having started a hosting business in the past I am really impressed by their operations and their support. They seem to share the same support credo as AspDotNetStorefront - Always around and have a solution within hours.

All in all I am a very happy camper. And, if you add all of it together (the hosting and AspDotNetStorefront ) it's still cheaper by 20% - 40% than these other guys. And I feel I'm getting a much better solution.

At that time I was trying to get my over $2K back from the other cart guys after nothing worked.

After a few days I got the new AspDotNetStorefront site up and was in business. Thanks AspDotNetStorefront."

NOTE: VB.NET source only available with ML, ML/DNN, and IS versions purchased with optional full source.

Full source code is optionally available for AspDotNetStorefront ML, ML/DNN and IS versions. This allows you to fully customize storefront features to match exacting client requirements. We realize that every online business has their own unique business rules, which you have to accomodate. Stop settling for cookie cutter storefront solutions which offer no ability for customization or not flexibility. When optionally purchased, source code is provided in asp.net 2.0 format, in either C# or VB.NET languages, with full SQL database schema. Visual Studio.net 2005 is supported and full project and solution files are provided.

The only source that we do not provide, and you should never need is:

a) the source for our encrypt dll, and
b) source for any third party controls (e.g. ComponentArt menus) that are used in the storefront.

It is almost never needed to have the encrypt dll source, and we provide a Security.cs (Security.vb) class wrapper for it, in case you do have to provide/utilize your own encryption routines.

We treat developers like developers...no tricks or gimmicks. Just a solid platform to develop on.

"I tried Sales.Cart (ComCity), BVCommerce, Storefront 6.0 (Lagarde) and settled on AspDotNetStorefront PRO. I had a very bad experience with both Sales.Cart and StoreFront. These guys say they offer a 30 day money back guarantee, but in the fine print they don't offer this on the web hosting, or support so I really had to fight hard to get my money back after trying their solution for less than a week.

I'm glad I didn't settle for that, because I have much more control over my pages and the data with the AspDotNetStorefront solution. I've had to learn SQL and .NET a little bit more than I knew already, but these other carts mask you from what's going on with your data. So now my site is live and I know it backwards and forwards.

The other most important thing for me was support. AspDotNetStorefront has been incredible. It seems they are always around, which is great since I seem to always be working on my site. It seems I never have to wait more than a couple of hours to get an answer from them.

At that time I was trying to get over $2K back from the other cart guys and here AspDotNetStorefront sent me the actual full product prior to the sale. I thought these guys have balls (excuse the expression) about there solution. After a few days I got the site to work and sent them the money. "

XmlPackage Overview & Operation (Patent Pending)

XmlPackages are a means by which developers can extend the functionality of AspDotNetStorefront without necessarily having to know asp.net and/or recompile the storefront. One great example is adding a new "shopping site" feed...you don't have to recompile the storefront, you can simply write a new "feed" XmlPackage that generates the shopping comparision site feed data easily, and add this XmlPackage to your admin site. This allows developers to add features easily wihtout rebuilding the core source or waiting for us to add the feature.

XmlPackages also provide a middle-tier layer which separates business logic (code) from presentation layer (html), and allows the XmlPackage to bring those two areas together without mixing HTML into your code objects

The storefront uses XmlPackages to render ALL category, manufacturer, department, and product pages. This allows you to easily add completely new page layouts to the storefront just by wrting a new XmlPackage! The storefront also uses XmlPackages for all customer notifications, including Receipts, Your Order Has Shipped, Distributor Drop Ship Notifications, etc...so you can also completely customize these messages.

A knowledge of Xml, Xsl (Xslt), and SQL is required to fully utilize XmlPackages.

XmlPackages have two purposes:

Internal Packages: these are used internally by AspDotNetStorefront to provide efficient access to nested entity (e.g. category, section, library, etc) and object (e.g. product, document) structures in the database. The storefront will NOT function if these XmlPackages removed.
Display Rendering Packages: These XmlPackages are created by third party developers (anyone really) to allow generation of custom page HTML output for entity and/or object pages. An example is to create a custom category page display format for the storefront.

What is an XmlPackage?

Conceptually, an XmlPackage is pretty simple: they take an input data set or data sets (or SQL statement, or web service call) and combines that data with automatically generated system and customer run-time environmental data (e.g. query string params, form params, cookies, etc), and then produces some output document. The output document can be almost any format, but the most common are: Xml for structured data or HTML for web page display content.

XmlPackages are named with the .web.config extension (e.g. MyXmlPackage1.web.config).

The steps by which an XmlPackage performs it's magic is as follows:

Package is instantiated by Name (the filename, e.g. MyXmlPackage1.web.config)
Package reads .xml.config file
Code adds additional run-time parameters to the XmlPackage
Code adds additional system defined parameters to the XmlPackage
DataSets are built from the SQL statements
DataSets are converted into XmlDocument
XmlDocument is Xsl Transformed into final Xml or HTML. You can even have multiple transforms in one XmlPackage
Caller of Package will typically then process any AspDotNetStorefront specific tokens in the output (if HTML) and render it on the page

XmlPackages are defined by the XSLT language. The technologies of: Xml, Xsl, SQL, HTML, XHTML, etc are all leveraged to write effective XmlPackages. There are many tutorials and good books on those technologies, so they are not discussed here, except where any unusual exceptions or requirements are imposed by the storefront.

Please remember that XmlPackages are XHTML compliant.

Internal XmlPackages

When used internally as a helper object, the XmlPackage typically produces an in-memory XmlDocument object, as a result of input SQL statements, and various customer, system, and userdefined parameters. Examples of these internal packages can be found by looking at files such as:

/XmlPackages/CategoryMgr.xml.config
/XmlPackages/ManufacturerMgr.xml.config
etc...

This manual does not describe in further detail how the XmlPackages are internally used by the storefront for managing entities. You can refer to the EntityHelper.cs, and HierarchicalTableMgr.cs classes in the common project, and the ShowEntityPage.cs class in the storefront project. Various consumer pages of these objects include the SiteMap.cs classes, and the SiteMapComponentArt.cs classes.

Display Rendering XmlPackages

When used by developers or customers, this type of XmlPackage outputs HTML to be rendered within a store page, typically rendering within the skin in the contents area. We now discuss how users can add new XmlPackages to the storefront WITHOUT recompiling any code in the storefront. This is important to allow developers to add custom page formats for their clients. For example, a particular store client may want their category pages to be displayed in a certain manner, which is not one of the built-in provided formats of the software. The developer can then author an XmlPackage (in notepad if required), copy that XmlPackage to the server, and tell the storefront to use that XmlPackage to render the specified category(ies) via the Admin site.

Installing XmlPackages

XmlPackages are installed by placing them in XmlPackages folder in the web site or in /admin/XmlPackages. XmlPackage requirements may differ if they are used on the store site vs. the admin site. XmlPackages can also be stored by skin in skins/skin_1/XmlPackages, because different skin layouts may require different manifestations of the package. When your XmlPackage is ready for use, just FTP copy the file into that directory. Then, you can assign that XmlPackage to any category, section, manufacturer, library, product, or document in the storefront using the Admin site. When editing these pages in the Admin panel, you will now select the Display Format of XmlPackage in the select list, and then pick which XmlPackage file is to be used in the Xml Package select list as shown below: When the display format of XmlPackage is chosen for your page, your XmlPackage is solely responsible for producing the output from that page's contents areas! This gives you COMPLETE control over what is rendered within the skin content area.

Invoking XmlPackages By Themselves

The new page engine.aspx?xmlpackage=XXXXXX has also been added to the storefront. The static URL shorthand for this is e-XXXXXX.aspx.

This new engine page now allows you to do things using dynamic data to add totally new pages in your store. For example, suppose you want to have a page which lists the top 5 most heavily discounted products in your db. You can now write an XmlPackage to do that, and link to it from your skin. Suppose you need a page which lists the most 25 recently added products in the store, you can write an XmlPackage to do that. And with both packages, you have full control over the data that is being used to generate the page, and the display format used to render the page results. All this is possible by writing .xslt files with the necessary XmlPackage instructions. No change to the asp.net storefront code is required. To deploy a new XmlPackage page to your site, all you have to do is FTP the XmlPackage file to the /XmlPackages directory of your web server and invoke it (presumably after you have tested and debugged it on your development server).

Full real-time Debugging & Breakpoints in XmlPackages

You can set AppConfig:Xml.DumpTransform=true, and the XmlPackage engine will write intermediate .xml files into the /image directory (they are put here because the site already has write permissions to that folder). The xml files will be appropriately named based on the name of the xml package, and also intermediate stage files will be written out.

To debug your xsl transforms, you can use your favorite Xsl debugger tool or Visual Studio.net directly

Example XmlPackage

The following XmlPackage shows an example of how to display a category (entity) page in grid icon layout..and shows how easy it would be to alter this layout, as the XmlPackage separates structure (html) from content (database information)

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
<package version="2.1" displayname="Entity Grid Page Layout" debug="false" includeentityhelper="true">

Skinning Allows Site Customization Without Source Code

A "skin" is the means by which you can fully customize the appearance of your web site, and in nearly all cases, you can do it without requiring source code or other asp.net code changes.

Conceptually, a skin is very simple, it's a set of HTML file(s), CSS style sheets, and graphics, that the storefront uses to generate the overall appearance of your storefront.

For developers, even when using skins, you can still design and add any custom pages to the AspDotNetStorefront solution using traditional asp.net web forms, user controls, and other techniques which are standard. They just appear "inside" the site skin by "magic" when rendered by our Skinning Engine

Skins are VITAL to the success of your business...after all, it IS your brand appearance and presentation to customers that will drive the most in revenue growth and conversion rates

You almost never need source code to do "skinning" in AspDotNetStorefront.

Additionaly, you can almost always create a skin from your existing web site or design, by following a very simple procedure outlined in our skinning tutorial manual section.

Skins can also be created initially in FrontPage, DreamWeaver, Expressions Web Editor, or any other HTML design tool that you, or your designer, prefers!

Stop settling for a cookie-cutter site that looks like hundreds of other sites...with AspDotNetStorefront, you can take control of your site's appearance and presentation, so it's how YOU want it to be

You can even have multiple skins per store, and even multiple templates per skin, so you could have your "Shoes" category with one appearance and your "Dresses" category with a completely separate appearance. There is almost no restrictions on what you are allowed to do in skins. Any valid HTML, XHTML, Flash or other components can be used! You can also even vary skins by affiliate id's, so customers from your "Affiliate A" see skin 1 and customers from your "Affiliate B" see skin 2!

Just look at the wide array of designs that are possible in AspDotNetStorefront:

Quantity discounts are available to resellers and developers doing multiple projects, and to OEM customers. Discounts are available on AspDotNetStorefront ML, ML/DNN, and IS eBusiness versions as follows. Resellers & Developers must be front line support for their clients to qualify for discounts.

# Licenses	%Discount
1 - 2	0%
3 - 4	20%
5 - 9	25%
10 - 14	30%
15 - 19	35%
20 - 24	40%
25 or more	45%

Discounts rates can be earned as follows:

a) Earned Discount Rates: Discount incrementally increases as licenses are purchased in your same account. e.g. when you purchase the first license, it is at 0% discount. If you then purchase a 2nd license subsequently, it is also at 0% discount. If you then purchase a 3rd license, it will be at 20% discount, and so forth according to the discount table shown above, with increasing discounts available as additional licenses are purchased.

b) Immediate Discount Rates: Discount can be applied to all licenses purchased at one time. Discount is computed based on total # of licenses purchased, which results in the higher discount being applied to all licenses, in trade for buying the licenses together at one time. If you purchase 16 licenses all at one time, you will get the 35% discount on all 16 licenses immediately.

This program offers flexibility for developers & resellers doing multiple storefronts, who want to trade smaller up front cash flow considerations for graduated discount rates, versus those who want the maximum discount rate applied to all licenses for larger initial investment.

For resellers or OEMs doing special integration projects, please contact sales for additional information.

Quantity discounts rates can not be applied on Standard or PRO versions, or on Custom XmlPackages, QuickBooks T-HUB exporter, or language packs.
