I've come across an issue with CS2002 SP2 whereby creating an OrderAddress
and adding it to a Basket results in the OrderAddress having empty data.

If I create an new OrderAddress instance, assign it to the Basket by calling
Basket.Addresses.Add and Basket.SetBillingAddress methods, then populate the
address (FirstName, LastName, etc.), the address will be blank in the
PurchaseOrder (from Basket.SaveAsOrder method). However, if I populate the
address _before_ assigning it to the Basket, the address will be correct in
the PurchaseOrder. Below are examples of this issue. I've yet to install SP3
,
so this may have been fixed.

// Results in blank address
OrderAddress billAddr = new OrderAddress("default", Guid.NewGuid.ToString())
;
myBasket.Addresses.Add(billAddr);
myBasket.SetBillingAddress(billAddr.ID);
billAddr.FirstName = "Joe";

// Results in correct address
OrderAddress billAddr = new OrderAddress("default", Guid.NewGuid.ToString())
;
billAddr.FirstName = "Joe";
myBasket.Addresses.Add(billAddr);
myBasket.SetBillingAddress(billAddr.ID);

I don't think that this is a CS error.

It seems logical that calling "Add" will create and add a copy of the
address to the basket.

If it simply copies over a "pointer" to your address, your could
delete the address and corrupt the basket.
