You cannot access template tags from one context (Layout template where Item.Area.* tags belong) in another template, like the cart. You can only use Global tags accross templates.

If using Razor, you can however put the value from the template tag in the items collection and use it in other templates:

In layout template:

System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Items["MyVar"] = GetString("Item.Area.*");

In cart template:
var myVar = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Items["MyVar"];

BUT - this will only work if the part in the layout template is being executed before it is executed in the cart template.

An alternative is in the cart template to access the area item directly using the API:

object myvar = null;
Dynamicweb.Frontend.PageView.Current().Area.Item.TryGetValue("ItemFieldSystemName", ref myvar);

But how does it work on the Solutionset we downloaded from http://developer.dynamicweb.com/downloads.aspx

It is the same code, the only change was that we converted Main.html to razor syntax?

This demo version is published on http://dw.inet-design.dk/en-US/Cart.aspx and I see that the template tag is rendered just fine.

Hi Davor

There is some relatively big differences in how Razor and HTML templates work. It is actually a bug/coinicidence that it works using HTML templates.
