Subscriptions

Hi,

I'm working on a site that requries a subscription. I have ruled out storing CC details in a database so that means that either a user pays for several months at once and then has to manually make another payment when the time is up or else an independent payment company holds on to the details. Perhaps the bank could do this?

Anyone know anything about these latter ideas?

Cheers, WT.

There are companies like PayPal out there that could do your processing for you. Microsoft's Visual Web Developer Express has a starter kit for a PayPal eCommerce site.

Hope that helps

If the site is small, I suggest using a third party Merchant Account and/or PayPal. Like you said, storing CC details in your own database is not a good idee unless you have major security and I think it's not legal unless the CC Company approuve.
But do these companies hold on to the CC details so that the customer can automatically be charged each month?
Yes they do

Suggestions on how to Open a New Window from a data grid

I have a datagrid that holds a whole list of records about computers. I need
one column that is a hyperlink that when clicked will show the details of t
hat computer model. The hyper link needs to open in a new window and have an
address that is my page na
me (modelinfo.aspx). That part is easy, as this is built into the datagrid c
ontrol. But the last thing I need is a varible on it, so when the hyperlink
is clicked, a New page would open and have an address "modelinfo.aspx?Model=
" & what ever value is in t
he corresponding cell that was clicked. So if I clicked on Model "e20" the a
ddress bar would have to read "modelinfo.aspx?Model=e20" etc. Any suggesti
ons? Thanks
Billtry this in the datagrid..
<asp:HyperLink runat="server" Target=_blank Text='<%#
DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Model") %>' NavigateUrl='<%#
DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.Model", "modelinfo.aspx?Model={0}"
)
%>'></asp:HyperLink>
