Storefront 6.0 Support

Apparently LaGarde filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2008 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 6.0 and I still have that installed on my computer.

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.
