Commerce Server and ASP.NET
For the latest version of Commerce Server 2007 Help, see the Microsoft Web site.
A Commerce Server Web application is built on top of ASP.NET. The way that a Commerce Server application starts up and shuts down, as well as the way it processes a request, are dependent on ASP.NET.
This section provides an overview of how the architecture of ASP.NET affects the lifecycle of the HTTP requests handled by Commerce Server, as well as the lifecycle of the entire Commerce Server Web application.
