    Thumbs down Shopping Cart...

    Hi I need to make a Shopping Cart and can some one suggest me how should I implement it...

    I mean I am not much more confident about using cookies and make sure that it don't get used next time...

    If someone can show me how to add 2 items and then retrive it when viewing cart and how to delete 1 of them I would really appreciate it...

    I am using ASP.NET / VB.NET

    Cheers...

    Use a database as your datastore, not cookies.

    Shopping Cart Using DataTables

    I'm in the process of building a shopping cart, and I've come accross a great tutorial that uses DataTables to store the items and quantities for the carts.

    What will happen when 10 ppl uses it same time...How am I going to recognize that users has already done the check out or logoff without even bothering what he/she added in cart...

    What if all 10 are trying to access the data at the same time...???

    Can u give some hint please...??? Actually I was thinking of Database option myself...

    Cheers...

    DataTable

    Here's a quote from the article...

    DataTables provide you with a way to dynamically create a purely memory-resident representation of a database table. Typically, you'd fill a DataTable from an existing database, but you could also create one programmatically, as will be the case here.
    From what I gather, creating the shopping cart with a DataTable is pretty similar to keeping the shopping cart information in a table in your database.
