Storefront 6.0 Support
Apparently LaGarde filed for
Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year and Storefront has been acquired by Dydacomp.
The Storefront forum has disappeared. This link
http://forums.storefront.net/ does
not go to the forums any longer. I used to do a lot of work customizing
Storefront. I invested a lot of time in studying the code and figuring out how
things worked. I even developed a few innovative ways to troubleshoot
Storefront. It uses ASP.NET 1.1 so there were not as many options to aid you in
debugging as you would have using ASP.NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005. You need to use Visual Studio 2003 to work on
Storefront.
If you are still using StoreFront 6.0 for
your shopping cart and find limited options for
support or improvements, feel free to contact
me.
I have the XE version of StoreFront 6.0 so I
have all the source code and project files to
customize a StoreFront 6.0 web in Visual Studio
2003. StoreFront 6.0 is a huge project which
uses many specialized classes so customizing its
functionality is a highly technical skill which
requires considerable expertise.
NOTE: The XE version of StoreFront 6.0
is no longer available and there are many
changes that cannot be made without it.
