How can I access fields in my product catalog?

Posted by Community Admin on 02-Sep-2011 00:00

I'm trying to do something like this:

private void setBannerDescription()

String myPageName = "Mortgage";

ProductsManager manager = ProductsManager.GetManager();

Product currentItem = manager.GetProductItems()

.Where(i => i.UrlName == myPageName)

.FirstOrDefault();

if (currentItem != null && currentItem.GetValue<string>("BannerDescription") != null)

lblProdDesc.Text = currentItem.GetValue<string>("BannerDescription");

Is this anywhere close to how to work with products? I couldn't find any documentation on this piece. I've based this on my understanding of Lists. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello Brad H,

This is exactly how you should do it with some small modifications:

String myPageName = "Mortgage";

ProductsManager manager = ProductsManager.GetManager();

ProductItem currentItem = manager.GetProducts()..Where(i => i.UrlName == myPageName).FirstOrDefault();

if (currentItem != null && currentItem.GetValue<string>("BannerDescription") != null)

lblProdDesc.Text = currentItem.GetValue("BannerDescription");

I assume you use the Products sample from the 4.2 SDK.

I was able to find the CatalogManager in the Ecommerce module namespace and that did the trick.

CatalogManager manager = CatalogManager.GetManager();

Product currentItem = manager.GetProducts()

.Where(i => i.UrlName == ProductName)

.FirstOrDefault();

if (currentItem != null && currentItem.GetValue<string>("BannerDescription") != null)

lblProdDescription.Text = currentItem.GetValue<string>("BannerDescription");

Thanks.
