Changing data source dynamically

I'm looking for some method to change the "AbleCommerce" database in use based on request context, without CommerceBuilder source. Is there any way to assign Token.Instance.Database or manipulate the default connectString name at runtime? The connectString "|DataDirectory|" method is not viable as t...

Hey Mike, Thanks for having a look.

Really? No-one? This looks to impact every retailer in the US and failure to comply will raise your transaction rates.

MC partial auth, auth reversal, May 1st change?

Anyone else getting this from their bank? Able - are you aware of this requirement? Will there be support for these additional transaction types over existing gateways?

Re: Credit card number verification w/o gateway

The validation being performed is a simple error check: mod10 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luhn_algorithm). Card type is not considered. I believe the point being made here is that further validations need to be made by the cc processing entity anyway, so in addition to being volatile (first digit ...

Re: What is the Exported bit field in the Orders table?

That would be one possibility. I think how I'm using is more likely - the field implies a reason to persist the status; i.e. once an order is exported, you don't want to be able to export it a second time. Dataport is a more generic tool - you might be exporting for reporting purposes, in which case...

Re: How can I restore an .sql file?

The "sqlcmd" (or older "osql") command line utilities are probably your best bet. Use "sqlcmd -?" to get full syntax. Expect you would use something like "sqlcmd -E -S<ServerName> -d<DatabaseName> -i<NameOfYourBigSQLFile> -o<FileToSaveOutputResult>". You don't indicate if the input is just data, or ...

Re: SQL Express 2008 Connection?

SQL 2008 Express uses dynamic tcp ports - your connect string has no port reference; did you change the port to be the default? If not, that's likely the issue (SQL Server Configuration Manager, Network Config, Protocols for 'INSTANCE', TCP/IP).

Re: Getting group id of a group?

My 2 cents: - an explicit reference to an element for a list of unknown size (or possible null value) is dangerous - get the object, test for existence, then use it. - Avoid database calls when possible. Able pre-populates groups in the Token object, so you don't need a database call every time you ...

Our solution for this was to remove all text from scriptlet files. Easy enough to put text in controls only, and make sure all static text is wrapped in <asp:Localize> tags.
