Challenge Overview
Good day everyone, this is a fun one: we are asking that you build a standalone C# library that communicates with Commerce Server 2009, and can be used to dynamically register customers with the site when needed. For those of you that don't know, Commerce Server comes with a couple of different API interfaces that parallel each other - these are the Runtime API and the Agent API. The difference being that the Runtime API expects to be inproc in a web application (Commerce Server used to be called Site Server), and the Agent API does not. Obviously the Agent API is slower, as it wraps web service calls. However - they do allow the same operations. This component provides the functionality to look for, or create, profiles in the Commerce Server system, using either API strategy. When looking for a profile, the component uses a matching strategy, which determines when a provided profile template matches one in the database. A loose match is made in the server query, and an exact match made through iteration in code.Component Requirement Specification
