Using Data-Bound PayPal eCommerce for ASP.NET Controls

This sample shows how you might build a more realistic Web store using data stored in a database to automatically set up the table and all the controls in it.

To the end user (customer), the store will look similar to the one created in the previous example. However, this time we will create the store using a DataList control. The DataList control is one of the server controls that ship with the .NET framework. It provides a flexible mechanism to display items stored in a database. In this case, each item is a product that you want to sell, and each will be represented by a table row with three columns as before.

Step 2 of 4: Adding a Data Source to the Form

Step 3 of 4: Binding the Controls to a Data Source
