Getting Started Building Your Web Application
When you are ready to begin to develop your Commerce Server 2009 Web application, you have four choices:
You can use a SharePoint Commerce Configuration to create a Commerce enabled SharePoint site, such as the Default site that is included with Commerce Server 2009 and use it as a starting point for your SharePoint application development. See the Commerce Server 2009 Installation Guide for information on how to install the Default Web Site.
You can use the Project Wizard within Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 to add Commerce Server 2009 functionality to an existing Web application. For step-by-step instructions, see How to Create an Application in Visual Studio. Make sure that, in step 5, you provide the URL of your existing Visual Basic or C# Web application.
You can unpack the CSharp site package that is included with Commerce Server 2009 and use it as a starting point for your Web application development. For step-by-step instructions, see How to Unpack a Site on the Business Management Server.
You can use the Project Wizard within Visual Studio 2008 to create a new Commerce Server 2009 Web application that uses either Visual Basic or C#. For step-by-step instructions, see How to Create an Application in Visual Studio.
