Gentlemen (and Ladies), I have a shopping cart in a datagrid. I have totalled up how much the guest needs to pay and put that into a an ASP:Label, it is also in session("Amount"). How do I transfer this decimal variable amount into an HTML hidden input
field for PayPal? I only want to transfer the total amount, I do not need every item in their shopping cart. Thank you in advance
Well, I now can transfer the CartID from the database and the count of items in the shopping basket. Can I get the amount across, not on your life! I enclose the code I am using, could anyone please tell me if I have the syntax down wrongly. I have
tried taking the item_ out of the amount statement but PayPal returns a faulty input file error message.
Thank you for any ideas you might have.
Dim Amount As Decimal = Session("BasketSum")
Dim OrderID As String = Session("cartID")
Dim CountNum As String = Session("BasketCount")
Dim Redirect As String = "https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=services@yumbo.com"
Redirect += "&item_name=Shopping Cart Number " & OrderID
Redirect += "&item_number=Number of Items " & CountNum
Redirect += "&item_amount=" & String.Format("{0:c}", Amount)
Redirect += "&cancel_return=http://www.yumbo.com"
Response.Redirect(Redirect)
Protected Sub Checkout_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Checkout.Click
Dim OrderID As String = Session("cartID")
Dim CountNum As String = Session("BasketCount")
Dim Redirect As String = "https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=services@yumbo.com"
Redirect &= "&item_name=GayYumbo.com Order: " & OrderID
Redirect &= "&item_number= " & CountNum
Redirect &= "&amount= " & Double.Parse(Session("Basketsum")).ToString()
Redirect &= "&return=http://www.yumbo.com"
Redirect &= "&cancel_return=http://www.yumbo.com"
Response.Redirect(Redirect)
End Sub
All I need to do now is to add the line for currency code as I want it in Euros
Any suggestions, mine are prooving fatal!
Thank you for your help in getting the amount across. Very much appreciated.

put a asp.net HiddenField control on the page, and then in the codebehind you can assign it like this - HiddenField1.Value = Session["values"];
or else you can do the same with Html Hidden Field but with runat="server" attribute....
also if you want to access server variables from client then - http://www.intstrings.com/ramivemula/articles/access-code-behind-variables-in-aspx-and-javascript/

The VB code that works is as follows:
Protected Sub Checkout_Click(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Checkout.Click Dim OrderID As String = Session("cartID") Dim CountNum As String = Session("BasketCount") Dim Redirect As String = "https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=services@yumbo.com" Redirect &= "&item_name=GayYumbo.com Order: " & OrderID Redirect &= "&item_number= " & CountNum Redirect &= "&amount= " & Double.Parse(Session("Basketsum")).ToString() Redirect &= "&return=http://www.yumbo.com" Redirect &= "&cancel_return=http://www.yumbo.com" Response.Redirect(Redirect) End SubAll I need to do now is to add the line for currency code as I want it in Euros
