Is Basket.Load and Basket.Add the same?? CHANGE EXISTING ORDERS - Commerce server

Hi Jeremy,

Basket.Load is to create an instance of the user's basket based on what is
stored in the Database. Basket.Add on the other hand is used to add the
contents of a OrderTemplate or PurchaseOrder into the existing user basket.

If you're using Retail2002 site then you'll be able to locate the
Basket.Load call in the TransactionContext Class otherwise Basket.Load can
be found in the documentation at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?u...asp?frame=true

If you do not want to override the existing cart then you should create an
OrderTemplate, move the contents of the cart into that OrderTemplate, Save
it. Clear the basket, load the PO, make modifications, save the PO, clear the
cart, load the OrderTemaplate, save the basket & delete the OrderTemplate
Simple Huh ?

could you show me how to use basket.Load - maybe some code? I cannot find it
in the retail site nor can i find how to do it on the web. people just say
use basket.load(purchaseorder) but nothing else.

your help would really help.

Silly me I should have started off by asking you which version of Commerce
Server you're using ? If you're dealing with the "Retail" site then I presume
you're on Commerce Server 2000. In which case you should look for LoadBasket
call in the basket (or cart).asp

Otherwise in CS2002 look at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?u...asp?frame=true
for a code example on how to work with the basket object on an aspx page.

If you're working with the Retail2002 site then the basket operations are
documented as part of the "Transactions" Control at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?u...asp?frame=true

Here is the code (please verify as I'm doing this off the top of my head)

Dim oOGSO as OrderGroupSearchOptions
Dim oOGS as OrderGroupSearch

oOGSO = new OrderGroupSearchOptions()
oOGSO.FetchOrderFormInformation = true
oOGSO.Columns.Add("OrderGroup.[ordergroup_id]")
oOGSO.PageSize = 25 ' must

oOGS = new OrderGroupSearch(CommerceContext.Current.OrderSystem)
oOGS.UserID = CommerceContext.Current.UserID
oOGS.OrderNumber = <your order number> ' substitute with the order number

Dim oDSOrders as new Dataset()
oDSOrders = oOGS.Search(oOGSO)

'
' If there is an order as per your requirement then you should get a table
with ONE
' record

Dim sPOId as string =
oDSOrders.Tables(0).Rows(0).Columns(0).Value.ToString() ----- something like
this.. basically get the value of the first column of the first row of the
ONLY table in the dataset.

Dim oPOGUID as guid = new System.guid(sPOId)
Dim oUserGUID as guid = new System.guid(CommerceContext.Current.UserId)
Dim oPurchaseOrder as PurchaseOrder

oPurchaseOrders = CommerceContext.Current.OrderSystem.getPurchaseOrder _
(oUerGUID, oPOGUID)

Dim oCart as basket
oCart = CommerceContext.Current.OrderSystem.getBasket(oUserGUID)
oCart.Add(oPurchaseOrder)

'
' This should add the PO to the basket
' Hope this helps !!
