All these tools can be run from the command line with the exception of the Assembly Cache Viewer (Shfusion.dll) and the Microsoft CLR Debugger (DbgCLR.exe). In order to ensure that these tools function optimally the user has to set the Path, Include and Lib environment variables by running SDKVars.bat in the /v.2.0/Bin directory and executing it in the command shell.

E-Commerce applications require mechanisms for payment. Although more commonly than not e-Commerce sites will use full credit card processing gateways, giving PayPal as an additional option of payment provides additional payment options for your customers, especially those that don't want to pay by credit card over the Internet.

In this article I describe how you can minimize the external PayPal interaction and work the PayPal payment into the order processing workflow to provide a seamless interface using ASP.NET and C#. However, the principles used here should be applicable to any Web programming environment.
