WEEK FIVE

May 1, 2006 LABOR DAY......uhhhh..walang PASOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

May 2, 2006 We had some problems today because the Beta Version of Visual Studio we are using has just expired. So we downloaded the express version of it. This is a free download but this version has some features missing. After download, we uninstalled the expired Beta and installed the express version immediately. In our group, we only downloaded Visual Web Developer because it is all we need.

We are thankful that the express version of Visual Studio is fully compatible with the files that we created using the Beta Version. Or else..we will have to start over again..

May 3, 2006 We helped Caren in designing the interface of their website. The task is somewhat difficult because their client wants the color of their logo retained on the site. The color of their logo comes with bright yellow and orange. If we are not careful, the result would look like a kindergarten art. We tried some concepts todat and this is what we came up to:

May 4, 2006 Today we have finished our homepage! Now, it can already accept data and able to pass it to our paypage (paypage.aspx).

We encountered so many problems in doing this but our time and effort solving them was worth it. Not to mention the things we learn during the process..

May 5, 2006 We started doing our paypage today. The job of the paypage is to accept the values passed by home.aspx and display it. It is also where the user will input his payment account information. We researched on the net on how to catch data or pass data between aspx pages. We found one and it uses querystring, but this method made our site not to run properly, we don't know why. We planned to use cookies but it was too difficult for us and we are running out of time so we chose the easiest and secure way that is using context.items.

We hope next week we can already make our website accept inputs and pass them on our SQL Server Database.
