Can't Get Product info in a Custom Module

So i'm developing my first custom module and i'm trying to get informations about eCommerce Products based on the products ProductID.

code:

if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.QueryString["ProductID"]))

    prodId = Request.QueryString["ProductID"].ToString();

Product p = new Product(prodId);

string name=p.Name;

 

My problem seems to be getting a hold of the Product in the first case, is this incorrect use of the Product constructor?

I can't seem to find any documentation that tells me how to get product information, but it seems to me that it should be a rather common issue so i'm probably not looking in the right places.

Hi Michael.

Try 

Dynamicweb.eCommerce.Products.Product.GetProductByID(prodId);

and FYI - When you find yourself in a situation like this in DW reflect the dll - this is the best documentation you can get.

getProductById doesn't seem to be available in the assembly i'm working with. I'm coding for DynamicWeb version 19.2.7.0 assembly version 18.9.1.1.

It's a fairly old build, but my client doesn't want to upgrade, so what can a man do...

i'm probably gonna have to default to getProductBySQL, but thx for your input, and thx for the tip on the decompiler, should be usefull.

Hi Michael,

 

In DW7.2, you can use either the constructor or the static Product.Create. Both should work. GetProductByID was added in DW8.
