• Commerce Server Custom Pipeline Component Question

  This should be pretty basic, but I am thinking of writing a custom checkout component that will do the following task: When a basket is made into an order, each line item's status will be calculated based on some custom properties that exist in the Catalog for the product associated with the line item.

Is this something that the custom pipeline component should do I would like my custom component to be added to the Checkout pipeline and do the following: here's some pseudo Foreach(LineItem) { Get Product info Calculate Product field ...Show All

• Visual Studio Group Header that doesn't wrap?

  I have created a report using ReportViewer with Visual Web Developer Express 2005. Everything looks great except for the Group Header title, which in many cases is much wider than the first column in my report. If I keep my first column width fixed, the Group Header wraps and looks ugly. If I allow the column to expand, I lose a lot of real estate in my first column. Is there a way to span a Group Header across several columns Thanks in advance, Kris. ...Show All

• Smart Device Development Using modem for data connection

  Hi, I established a data modem connection using TAPI ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/wcetapi/html/cmconsampletspsourcefile.asp ) Now I want to send and receive data, but I can't find any function.
