asp.net AIM Line item 1 is invalid.

bt99 — Sun, 03 Nov 2013 15:55:05 GMT

I don't see what the problem is in creating the line_items. Line item 1 is invalid. Thanks in advance!

My code:

Dim stringList As New List(Of String)()

Dim line_items As String() = stringList.ToArray()

For Each value As String In line_items
post_string += "&x_line_item=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(value)
Next

It would be easier if you post the post_string

anyway, it missing the taxable field at the end.

The

For Each value As String In line_items
post_string += "&x_line_item=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(value)
Next

is wrong. that why is repeating.

create a new string var before the loop to add the x_line_item text

then add it to the post_string after the loop.

Sorry for the trouble, now I'm not getting the postback string on the page, so I can't tell if it is still doubled, but line 1 is still invalid. Maybe the best thing is to post a larger snipit of code. If you can tell me where I'm going wrong it would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Did see why it woun't have any postback data, can't you debug it and see what in post_string before you send it?

Sorry, I still can't see a post string to debug.

RaynorC1emen7 — Mon, 04 Nov 2013 19:47:15 GMT

it crash? not maybe you need to step thru it line by line.

No error other than

1
270
(TESTMODE) Line item 1 is invalid.

Still working on it...

Re: asp.net AIM Line item 1 is invalid.

Reverting back to the authorize.net demo code, default.aspx, and adding an email address, I get the line items in an email but no post string.

Re: asp.net AIM Line item 1 is invalid.

bt99 — Mon, 04 Nov 2013 20:58:08 GMT

so, using the following:

Dim line_items As String() = stringList.ToArray()
For Each value As String In line_items
post_string += "&x_line_item=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(value)
Next

response.write(post_string)

i get

3
1
270
(TESTMODE) Line item 1 is invalid.

look like you have bad data in Session("p1Amt")

Re: asp.net AIM Line item 1 is invalid.

bt99 — Mon, 04 Nov 2013 22:04:00 GMT

Thanks, the amt should be 10.00 not 2410.00. I'll look into the session.

Re: asp.net AIM Line item 1 is invalid.

RaynorC1emen7 — Mon, 04 Nov 2013 22:08:06 GMT

%24 is $

Item price (per unit)<|>: Up to two decimal places. Must be a positive number. The dollar sign ($) is not allowed when submitting delimited information. Excludes tax, freight, and duty.

bt99 — Mon, 04 Nov 2013 22:20:41 GMT

Thanks very much for your help! You saved me a bunch of time.

I knew the $ could not be in the amt but it still got in. Here is my item one now, i hope this will help someone else.
