Running the Sample

To the MinMaxShip samples, you must first install one of the Commerce Server 2000 Solution Sites. After you have installed one of these sites, go to the directory containing the Business Desk files, and perform the following procedure.

To run the MinMaxShip sample

1. Copy the file MinMax_edit.asp from the BizDesk directory in the MinMaxShip directory to the Shipping directory in Business Desk on the installed site. For example, copy MinMax_edit.asp from C:\Program Files\Microsoft Commerce Server\SDK\Samples\Order Processing\MinMaxShip\BizDesk to C:\InetPub\wwwroot\RetailBizDesk\Shipping.

2. Copy the file Shipping_methods.xml from the Business Desk directory in the MinMaxShip directory to the Config directory in Business Desk on the installed site. For example, copy Shipping_methods.xml from C:\Program Files\Microsoft Commerce Server\SDK\Samples\Order Processing\MinMaxShip\BizDesk to C:\InetPub\wwwroot\RetailBizDesk\Config.

3. If you are running the Visual Basic sample, you must open the file MinMax_edit.asp, and change the following line of code:

   g_sProgID = "commerce.minmaxshipatl.1" 
   

   to

   g_sProgID = "commerce.MinmaxShipVB".
   

Note

  - This step is not required for the Visual C++ ATL sample.

After the custom Shipping Method module is updated, you can use it to configure new shipment methods of type "MinMaxShip."
