What is the difference between these two calls?

[pedrocoelho1]

AuthorizeNet.CustomerGateway(...).Authorize(order)

and

Authorize,netGateway(...).Send(authoirzationrequest)

Don't they both essentially do the same thing?

[pedrocoelho1]

They both seem to authorize a transaction in different ways.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for at least documentation on these methods.

[RaynorC1emen7]

all the source in on github. for this is in

https://github.com/AuthorizeNet/sdk-dotnet/blob/6a03be7ad593519936863e35b430be3166c1ff14/Authorize.N...

yes, basically the same as Authorize(order) use the send method

[pedrocoelho1]

I stepped through the code and I'm gettingan error when I use AuthorizeNet.CustomerGateway(...).Authorize(order)

Its says that it can't be processed because I'm in TestMode.  Is this a known issue?

[RaynorC1emen7]

Was it the exact error message? it is a exception or just the response text?

And yes, in Testmode no transaction will be generated.

what did you use for cc# for testing?

[pedrocoelho1]

I understand that a "real" transaction will not be made.

I get an error on this line of code:

LINE 102 in HttpXmlUtility.cs

"thingy.directResponse = _xmlDoc.ChildNodes[1].ChildNodes[1].InnerText;"

The value for InnerText is = "ErrorE00009The payment gateway account is in Test Mode. The request cannot be processed."

This is causing an exception and I dont understand why I cant process the order in TestMode.

[RaynorC1emen7]

It fail without a xml return which create the exception.

I dont understand why I cant process the order in TestMode.

It the way they setup CIM, get a test account for testing.

[pedrocoelho1]

So what is the difference between LiveMode and TestMode in a sandbox account?

[pedrocoelho1]

BTW, I'm using a sandbox account.

[RaynorC1emen7]

Then there is no reason for testmode to be on.

They have it because they want the setup on live and test server the same.
