Re: Suggestions on storing shopping cart info

But to perisist it using a session var doesn't using a List allow you to
easily access, add and remove items in the cart? Or should I just use an
arraylist of the cart items?

I was just looking at this and it seemed like a good idea...

By the way i'm not sure what "top-posting" is. I just hit "Reply to Group"

That's what I do, though I tend to use a generic e.g. Dictionary<int,
int> to store the ID of the purchased product along with the number of
items purchased...

Would using a generic list (of these objects) be the best way to handle
this in your opinion? Store that to a session variable?

No it wouldn't, otherwise that's what I'd be doing. I've never found any
need to persist anything other than the ID of the item bought together
with the number of items purchased.
