A quick note about the Ascentium/Microsoft buzz about Commerce Server, here’s an official press release from Ascentium. And here it is again on their site.
Hi,
I have enjoyed reading your blog. I am new to Commerce 2009 R2 and I need to create a website that will bring back a clients product list from their commerce 2009 server. We dont have commerce 2009 r2 here in the office and aim to use either Agent Mode Programming API or connect directly using the webservices. I want to do this in C# to create an Umbraco Macro that will pull the product list. I dont want the user to buy anything – this would be a redirect to their current commerce site.
Can you tell me how I could go about getting the API, securely connecting to the commerce 2009 R2 Server and pull back their Product lists. I will be using Filters to bring back specific products but if I could just get a basic understanding on how I would be able to create a simple app I could figure the rest out myself. Im not even sure if this is possible.
How would you authenticate the website to the commerce server using the API etc. I have seen a load of stuff on Microsofts website but could not understand much of it and am unsure which is the best way to connect etc.
Many thanks
Jonathan
