Order-Related Modules for an ASP.NET AJAX Server-Centric Based Online Shopping Website
(Page 1 of 7 )

Welcome to the fifth part of an eleven-part series that focuses on helping you build your own online shopping web site. Things up to now have become more and more interesting because we are about to delve into the following modules: viewing products, going shopping, placing orders, and so forth. Let’s discuss them one by one.

Viewing Products

Viewing products is mainly accomplished through the "Product.aspx" page. Let's first take a quick look at the most complicated page (in fact the main page). The following Figure 15 shows one of the run-time snapshots when no users have been registered.

On the whole, this page is a typical four-part user interface design mainly based on HTML <table> elements. The topmost part is the ugly logo by me. The left part (which is composed of several user controls, and because no users have been registered, parts of other sub panels do not appear) acts as the control panel to schedule each component of the whole shopping city. The right and larger part consists of two parts. The upper part is a product category list (DataList), and the lower part shows the corresponding products that belong to the selected product category (GridView). The bottom part of this page is a simple footnote just to simulate a typical website layout.
