Important
- This method is included for backwards compatibility with Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition. See the AuthManager object, which provides similar functionality to that found in the PutShopperID method. Using the AuthManager methods is the preferred way of adding this type of functionality to your site, and will ensure better compatibility with future versions of Microsoft Commerce Server.
Definition
Sub PutShopperId(bstrShopperID As String)
Parameters
bstrShopperID
A String that contains the shopper ID.
Return Values
None.
Error Values
This method sets the Number property of the global Err object to S_OK (&H00000000) to indicate success and to standard COM error values to indicate failure. For more information about standard COM errors, see Standard COM Errors. Additional information may be available using the global Err object. In particular, the Description property may contain a text description of the error.
Remarks
Where the PutShopperID method will store the specified shopper ID depends upon the StandardSManager initialization mode. In URL mode, this method writes the shopper ID to the request, so that the URL and SURL methods add the shopper ID to a query string in the URL from this page.
If the shopper ID is stored in a URL query string, you can retrieve it by passing the value you set for the application-level MSCSSIDURLKey to the IIS Request object.
If you initialize the StandardSManager in URL mode, you cannot use the StandardSManager's implementation of PutShopperID to store the shopper ID on the client system. Instead, you must use the implementation from the Page object.
For more information about memory ownership issues related to COM property and method parameters, see Managing COM Parameter Memory.
Example
