Development
I've just finished working on a .NET object that encapsulates the shopping.com API making it very easy to make requests and bind the results to .NET controls like the GridView etc. The object is available as a DLL that you can reference in your .NET project (C# or VB.NET).
If you are interested in a demo version or would like to find out more contact me.
The DLL allows you to do things like this:
// Create an instance of the object
dsp _dsp = new dsp();
// Create a serializer
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(dsp));
// Deserialize the object from the XML we receive from shopping.com
_dsp = (dsp)serializer.Deserialize(objStream);
// Output the response type
Debug.WriteLine(_dsp.result.type);
If you add a GridView to the page you can bind the results to it like
this:
GridView1.DataSource = _dsp.result.domain.domainlisting[0].products;
GridView1.DataBind();
This will show a grid of products matching your query.
