I was wondering if anybody had any useful tutorials or hints about where to start. Ideally I wou...
Does anyone have experience with a good, free and open-source ecommerce solution for ASP.NET? I know there are a ton out there for PHP and other languages, but I'd like to find one written in .NET (C# preferably). I tried dashCommerce a few months ago and I found it to be very buggy.

There are hundreds of shopping cart solutions available for every platform, and all hosting plans come with several already installed.

I'm looking for an easy to skin and customize e-commerce package. I've been reading good reviews about Magento, but it seems to have problems with performance.

All those familiar with websphere commerce will know that it is feature rich. It supports B2B, B2C and extended sites(which ATG doesn't) and some other features.

Is there any way to test a post to that URL? I've signed up for a developer ac...

I'm looking for tips, gotcha, etc. before we embark....
