Code can be made to work
The code was written with a late beta of .NET. It is strange how the code and website have not been updated, but in about 3 hours I was able to get the code to compile and run. There are numerous 3rd party products now with more features than this codeset and cost maybe $99, but if you want to make a go of it, like I said, you can get the code to work.

DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!
Do not be fooled by the description of this book. It describes features that do not exist...
This book does not contain working code, and the example site has been broken for more than two years, from the date of the first review. There are files missing which are essential for the example code to work. The contact info for the authors is invalid also...
THIS BOOK IS NOT SUPPORTED BY THE PUBLISHER. I have emailed the publisher several times over the last two months, and I have gotten no response. They should not continue to sell this book...
I believe the only positive reviews here are either bogus or based on the positive impression the book gives before you really get into it and discover all of the flaws that make it unusable.

The Code and the Sample Site do NOT work - A USELESS BOOK
I bought the book and followed the instructions in the book, unfortunately, like others said that the code does not work. I tried the url listed in the book, but what I got is the error message! The book "Building e-Commerce Sites with the .NET Framework by Jason Bentrum (Author), James Whatley (Author)" is useless. Similar Products
