Limits Element

The Limits element in the Web.config file restricts the number of Orders run-time objects that can be created in a user's session. Limiting the number of objects that can be created helps to prevent denial of service attacks on the Web site.

Put the Limits element within the orders element.

The following table lists the attributes of the Limits element.

Attribute	Data Type	Description
BasketsPerUser	String	The maximum number of Baskets that an OrderGroup can contain. This string value must represent an integer. The default value is "15".
OrderTemplatesPerUser	String	The maximum number of OrderTemplates that an OrderGroup can contain. This string value must represent an integer. The default value is "10".
OrderFormsPerOrderGroup	String	The maximum number of OrderForms that an OrderGroup can contain. The default value is "5".
PromoCodeRecordsPerOrderForm	String	The maximum number of PromoCodeRecords that a PromoCodeRecordCollection can contain. This string value must represent an integer. The default value is "10".

Note

Bercause the Basket class, the OrderTemplate class, and the PurchaseOrder class all derive from the OrderGroup class, any attribute that limits an OrderGroup also limits a Basket, an OrderTemplate, and a PurchaseOrder.

Example
