Paypal PayFlow Pro Code.

To help clear up confusion on how to write against the Paypal SDK:

Update to the PayFlowPro issues with Paypal. First and foremost Paypal support is awesome. Second the  PayPal Developer Community needs some work from my perspective. While Admin_ToddS was right. It was like pulling teeth to get info.

Also they seriously need to rebuild the SDK with better documentation. Perhaps I will take it upon myself to push a better SDK out next post.

Here is the code I ended up using as you will see it was much easier once paypal turned on the gateway.

 

   1:  using System;
   2:  using PayPal.Payments.DataObjects;
   3:   
   4:  namespace eStoreFrontCS
   5:  {
   6:      /// <summary>
   7:      /// Summary description for Constants.
   8:      /// </summary>
   9:      public class Constants
  10:      {
  11:          private Constants()
  12:          {
  13:          }
  14:                  
  15:          // Payflow Pro Host Name. This is the host name for the PayPal Payment Gateway.
  16:          // For testing:     pilot-payflowpro.verisign.com
  17:          // For production:     payflowpro.verisign.com
  18:   
  19:          // DO NOT use test-payflow.verisign.com or payflow.verisign.com.
  20:          
  21:          // The path "/transaction" must be included at this time, otherwise a result code -1
  22:          // will be returned.
  23:   
  24:          // If needed, set proxy like given example.
  25:          // internal static PayflowConnectionData Connection = new PayflowConnectionData("pilot-payflowpro.verisign.com/transaction",443,<ProxyAddress>,<ProxyPort>,<ProxyLogon>,<ProxyPassword>,@"C:\Program Files\Payflow SDK for .NET\certs");
  26:          //public static PayflowConnectionData Connection = new PayflowConnectionData("pilot-payflowpro.verisign.com/transaction",443,@"C:\Program Files\Payflow SDK for .NET\certs");
  27:          //This is Express Checkout User information
  28:          //,null,0,null,null
  29:          public static UserInfo PayflowECUser = new UserInfo("", "", "", "");
  30:          //This is Buyer Auth User information
  31:          public static UserInfo PayflowBAUser = new UserInfo("", "", "", "");
  32:       //You need to send "<user>", "<vendor>", "<partner>", "<password>" where USER and VENDOR are //your merchant Login ID, unless you created a Payflow Pro User(no need have not set one up.).
  33:          
  34:  //public static String LocalHostName  = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["hostName"];
  35:      }
  36:  }

<sarcasm>Because writing against this gateway is so very easy.</sarcasm>

Add a button to a aspx form and in the code behind add:
