18.6. Building a Page to Manage Cart Contents

To complete the shopping cart enhancement of the Small Business Starter Kit, you need a page where users can view and change the contents of the shopping cart. In this section, you create the data connection and add a DataGrid.

18.6.1. Adding the shopcart.aspx page

The Small Business Starter Kit uses a master page to present the common page elements and styles. Follow these steps to add a new page that follows the existing site's layout and column structure:

</div>
<div id="content-container-three-column" style="right: 0px; top: 0px">
    <div id="content-side1-three-column">
    </div>
    <div id="content-main-three-column" style="text-align: right">
        <h1 style="text-align: left">Shopping Cart</h1><hr />
<!-- GridView Goes Here -->
    </div>
