Syntax

'Declaration
Public Sub AddProductCatalog ( _
    productCatalog As String _
)
'Usage
Dim instance As StaticCatalogSet
Dim productCatalog As String

instance.AddProductCatalog(productCatalog)
public void AddProductCatalog(

)

void AddProductCatalog(
    String^ productCatalog
)
public function AddProductCatalog(

)

Parameters

Exceptions

Exception Condition
EntityAlreadyExistsException

The product catalog already exists.

Remarks

The object must be saved before these changes will be persisted to the database.

Before adding the catalog to the StaticCatalogSet the productCatalog is validated:

  • To ensure the specified catalog name is not null, has an appropriate length, and does not contain any special characters.

  • To check if the product catalog already exists.

  • To check that the price rule does not already exists.

Examples

// Creates a static catalog set
internal StaticCatalogSet CreateStaticCatalogSet(string catalogSetName, string description)
{
  try
  {
    // Create a catalog set
    StaticCatalogSet catalogSet = this.catalogSetsContext.CreateStaticCatalogSet(catalogSetName, description);
    catalogSet.Description = "new Description";
    // Once created product catalogs can be added to the catalog set 
    catalogSet.AddProductCatalog("catalog1");
    // Finally call save to save the changes to the catalog system
    catalogSet.Save();
    // Iterating the catalogs in the catalog set
    foreach (ProductCatalog productCatalog in catalogSet.IncludedCatalogs)
    {
      Console.WriteLine(productCatalog.Name);
    }
    // Iterating the catalogs not in the catalog set
    foreach (ProductCatalog productCatalog in catalogSet.NotIncludedCatalogs)
    {
      Console.WriteLine(productCatalog.Name);
      }
    return catalogSet;
  }
  catch (EntityAlreadyExistsException ex)
  {
    Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    throw;
  }
}
