Question (Retail 2002): Display on Site. Is there a method and property
associated with the Product Object? Or does it just set a 1 or 0 in a table,
and you have to create the procedure?

Thanks,
Ryan

It's a little painful to get that info, but here's the way to do it using th
e Commerce Server objects.  Use the Product.GetProductProperties to get iter
ate through all of the properies (which I'm sure you know already) and then 
look up each property's def
inition using the CatalogContext.GetDefinitionProperties method (where the C
atalogContext object is available from CommerceContext.Current.CatalogSystem
).  That method returns a DataSet of all the "property's properties", if you
 know what I mean.  That sh
ould give you access to the DisplayOnSite property, along with any other's t
hat you might like to use, or add there).  Hope that helps!

That was close what he posted but not entirely correct...

You will want to use the CatalogContext.GetDefinitionProperties method, for 
sure, but only to get the valid properties for that device (it does not give
 you the DisplayOnSite attribute.)

Next you need to traverse through the Product.GetProductProperties columns (
each is a property.) If the property is contained within the valid propertie
s that you got above (w/GetDefinitionProperties), get the attributes of that
 property, using CatalogContext.GetPropertyAttributes.

Row 0, column 21, in the dataset returned by GetPropertyAttributes will cont
ain the DisplayOnSite attribute for that property.

It is an ugly way to do it, but it seems the only way that i know of...
