You're treating ProductService as a class with a static method GetProductById which isn't correct. You should instead use an existing instance:

Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Services.Products.GetProductById(...)

Also, you need to use the variables you created as  .NET variables. Currently you use them as string literals. So the final solution would look like this:

var defaultProduct = Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Services.Products.GetProductById(.defaultVariantId, productidForVariantSearch, langId);

Hope this helps,

Perfect Imar, thank you.

If I want to get a value from the defaultProduct, how can i get this?

I tried

@{
string defaultimage=defaultProduct["PrimaryImage"].ToString();
}

but that gives the error "Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type 'Product'"

If Product has a PrimaryImage property, all you need is this:

string defaultimage = defaultProduct.PrimaryImage;

Thank you Imar

it looks like my defaultProduct object is empty.

I am trying @defaultProduct.Active - and that should have some value according to the documentation https://doc.dynamicweb.com/api/html/47e46310-6920-7861-849f-e8ac081269b0.htm, but I get an error stating - Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

what I am doing wrong?

Yep, looks like the product isn't found. Are you sure your values are correct? Can you print them out on screen before using them in GetProductById? That method ultimately executes something like this:

      productSql.Add("SELECT * FROM EcomProducts WITH (NOLOCK) WHERE ProductID = {0} ", (object) productId);
      if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(productVariantId))
        productSql.Add("AND (ProductVariantID IS NULL OR ProductVariantID = '') ");
      else
        productSql.Add("AND ProductVariantID = {0} ", (object) productVariantId);
      productSql.Add("AND ProductLanguageID = {0} ", (object) productLanguageId);
      return productSql;

so it looks for the ID, Variant ID and Language ID in the EcomProducts table. Confirming your values may tell you what's going on.

Imar

And if it still doesn't work, can you supply your latest code?

Thank you for your time Imar

ID, Variant ID and Language ID give these results:

Language ID=LANG1 
Product ID = 11210-10043
Variant ID = VO106.VO2


@{
string langId=GetString("Ecom:Product.LanguageID");
string productidForVariantSearch=@GetString("Ecom:Product.ID");
string defaultVariantId=@GetString("Ecom:Product.DefaultVariantComboID");
var defaultProduct = Dynamicweb.Ecommerce.Services.Products.GetProductById(defaultVariantId, productidForVariantSearch, langId);
//string idtest = defaultProduct.Id;
}

The outcommentet string ("idtest") gives an error statitng the object does not exist:

OMG, that´s embarrassing 🫢

Thank you very much Imar - that solves it 👍
