.net c# order management library

Question

I have the need for sql based library that will allow me to create products, order items, orders, etc to support e-commerce on a .net mvc site. Does anybody have a suggestion as to where I can purchase a library like this or should I write it myself?

Thanks, Chris

Answer 1

I don't understand why you need a library for this. Since you are not using an open source shopping cart there must be some need for a custom solution. Therefore you should design the tables yourself based on the needs. You can then create Stored Procedures that you call from within your .net code to update the data within the tables. This is pretty trivial and I doubt you need a specific library to accomplish this.

Answer 2

This might help start you off if you're stuck with getting started with your database schema, it's a library of free database models:

Library of Free Data Models from DatabaseAnswers.org

There's even a sample Orders and Shipping model you could start off with.

I'd then suggest starting off with tool such as SubSonic or Linq to SQL to build your data access widgets:
