Hi, Owen,

My understanding is you have an expression which is something like "Targetin
gContext.Keywords" contains "GIL_signup" and you want to show the advertisem
ent which requires this target expression, correct?

If that's the case, you need to do the following steps
1) use bizdesk "Profiles" --> "Profile Definition Designer" to add a "keywor
ds" property to Targeting context
2) use bizdesk "Campaigns" module to create a target group to contain this e
xpression and remember to set the targeting action to "require" in the targe
t group.
3) use bizdesk, edit the advertisement to target the target group we created
 in step 2
4) in your runtime site, add that keyword to Targeting context and set Conte
ntSelector's targeting context before calling GetContent. refer to the follo
wing code snippet (in which i always add that keyword. you
probably want to do it under certain circumstance based on your need)

/**************** code snippet *************************/
Dim cso As ContentSelector
cso = CommerceContext.Current.TargetingSystem.SelectionContexts(ctxt).GetSel
ector()
cso.ItemsRequested = 1

Dim targetProfile As Profile
targetProfile = CommerceContext.Current.TargetingSystem.TargetingContextProf
ile

targetProfile("Keywords").Value = "GIL_signup"

cso.Profiles.Add("targetingContext", targetProfile)

cso.GetContent()
/*************** end of code snippet *******************/

HTH,

OK, the target group has information that says a certain expression must be
true.  The expression has XML in it that evaluates to the string
"GIL_signup" under context.keywords. This was a "required" tag in the old
SiteServer Adserver stuff. How do I use dot-net to say that this page has
those keywords in the selection framework?

Thanks,
Owen
