The main logic of your pipeline component resides in the Execute() method.
Unfortunately you will not get the OrderForm object in C# sense, you will
get passed an Order Dictionary (pdispOrder argument). This dictionary is
like a key/value pair list. You can cast this object to
Microsoft.CommerceServer.Runtime.IDictionary interface which is defined in
MSCSCoreLib.dll, then just access the elements through the indexer:

IDictionary dict = (IDictionary)pdispOrder;
dict["foo"] = "bar";

Thanks,

Thanks for your good answer to my question. could I ask you something
else:
What does the Object  pdispContext do , is there any more detailed
documentation on C# pipeline development, such as a complete example
of a functioning pipeline compoenent

While Order dictionary has data related to a particular order, Context
dictionary usially contains some config data or other data that is not tied
to the order itself but still needed for the pipeline to run (for example,
). Each pipeline component must document which values it reads from Context
dictionary, and reads/writes to Order dictionary (as a general rule,
pipeline components shouldn't write to Context dictionary). You can browse
this list of CS2002 components to get a better feel of what kind of stuff
is usually read and written:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...-us/csvr2002/ht
m/cs_rp_intropipecomp_zfpr.asp

Then, the site code that runs this pipeline will need to provide the
dictionary keys that each component requires (also some keys may be
optional), as this maple shows:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/e...pelineobj_jopd.
asp

Unfortunately i dont have a pointer to a C# pipeline implementation sample.

Thanks
Andre
