Thread: EventHandler Problem

Hi,

As a newbie, my question is about EventHandler mechanism.
I searched almost all posts but still can't figure out.

What we want to accomplish is:
Whenever a visitor creates an account (and becomes a customer) on storefront, we want to detect this situation, get the new customer id and customer details and insert them into the ERP database.

Using EventHandlers it seems to be an easy task but so far it's not..

What we did is:

• We created a folder (WSI) and an aspx page (NewAccount.aspx) inside under storefront project.
• We wrote the listener code in Page_Load method of this aspx file.
• Using admin page, we edited CreateAccount eventhandler.
• As callout url, we entered: http://localhost/WSI/NewAccount.aspx
• We also set Active and Debug properties to true

However, when an account is created our URL is not invoked by storefront.

What did we do wrong?

Thanks in advance.

No one used those eventhandlers before?

Anyone has an idea about what we are doing wrong when implementing Event Handlers?

I see you are getting as many answers and my question on WSI.

I would be interested in an answer to your question since I will be working on the same issue soon.

Thanks for your interest andyhay..
I am still waiting for a hand but still nothing

The EventHandlers in v9 (and MSx) are not functioning at this time (known bug). Unfortunately we also don't have a timeframe for the fix.

This has proven to be wrong. EventHandlers are functioning but they do require that you disable validation on your listener page (typical issue being missed by users)

Actually, we are using ML v8. I hope it doesn't have the same bug, does it?

So how do you expect (or recommend) us to integrate with the ERP system easily when a order is taken place for example?

What do you recommend us to do if we want to update the ERP system every time an order takes place?

Anyone who has experience with EventHandlers before?

What are you guys doing to handle ERP integration issues?

I'm also experiencing the same issue (8.0.1.4ML). Please take a look at the following thread.

There are at least two significant .net 4 related problems associated with Event Handlers. In the AspdnsfEventHandler.CallEvent method the call to BeginGetResponse throws an exception. This is easily fixed but requires source code. The other problem is running the Listener in .net 4. See the thread mentioned by scode.

dincer80, I believe that the event handler code in v.8 and v.9 is identical and works if you run it in .net 3.5. In either case you still have the ValidationMode issue at any .net 4 Listener.

Event handlers are very "handy" for integration, once you get them to work.
