Week 3

This week we continued on our shopping cart program PROTOTYPE

We started working on following the product from choice to purchase. We researched on other websites as to what features and pathways they used for their shopping cart. From search bars to category layout and all the way to the log in page with classified information and security.

For the prototype we added a hyperlink field to the grid view so the user can start selecting a category. In order for it to work we had to set the DataNavigationUrlField, DataNavigationUrlFormatString, and the DataTextField.

The code we used for these fields is below:

DataNavigationUrlField: getCategoryIDGV.getCategoryGV
DataNavigationUrlFormatString: ~/PT_products.aspx?CategoryID={0}&CategoryName={1}
DataTextField: getCategoryNameGV
