AddSpecialField Method (Level3 Control)
Adds a special field name and the corresponding value.
Syntax
level3control.AddSpecialField Name, Value
Remarks
This method allows for specifying special fields for level 3 details at a transaction as well as a line item level. Typically level 3 details pertain to item details, however some gateways expose fields that are not item specific. This method allows you to specify these fields. Additionally you can specify item specific fields that aren't exposed via LineItems. Please consult the gateways specifications to obtain available fields and their format.
Gateways implemented using XML may require the elements to be split into their own line item elements. In such a case, the specified Name value can be specified in the form "[index]:[name]" (where 'index' is the LineItems index and 'name' is the name of the element you wish to add). The component will then parse the format and place line item data within the correct element in the request.
The following gateways are implemented using XML and support indexed special field values:
- gwBankOfAmerica (13)
- gwOrbital (23)
- gwSterling (45)
- gwLitle (63)
- gwPayTrace (70)
- gwDataCash (77)
- gwFirstDataE4 (80)
Please refer to the SpecialFieldName and SpecialFieldValue properties for more information on form variables and how they are managed.
Config Method (Level3 Control)
Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.
Syntax
level3control.Config ConfigurationString
Remarks
Config is a generic method available in every control. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the control.
These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the control, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.
To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).
To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.
GetAggregate Method (Level3 Control)
Returns an aggregate containing level 3 details for a transaction.
Syntax
level3control.GetAggregate
Remarks
This method returns an aggregate containing the level 3 data specified. This aggregate must be passed to the ICharge control's Level3Aggregate property in order for the level 3 data to be sent in the transaction. Each gateway has different requirements when processing level 3 transactions. Please refer to Level3 to identify which properties are required for the gateway you are implementing.
An example of how this method is used is shown below:
Level2.PONumber = "123456789"
Level2.ShipToZip = "27713"
Level2.TaxAmount = "1.23"
Level2.IsTaxExempt = false
ICharge.Level2Aggregate = Level2.GetAggregate()
Level3.LineItemCount = 2
Level3.LineItems[0].CommodityCode = "4900" // Books and printed materials
Level3.LineItems[0].Description = "Reference manual"
Level3.LineItems[0].DiscountAmount = "" // No discount
Level3.LineItems[0].ProductCode = "ISBN123456"
Level3.LineItems[0].Quantity = "2"
Level3.LineItems[0].TaxAmount = "60"
Level3.LineItems[0].TaxRate = "600" // 6.00 percent
Level3.LineItems[0].Total = "1060"
Level3.LineItems[0].UnitCost = "500"
Level3.LineItems[0].Units = "each"
Level3.LineItems.Add(new EPLineItem());
Level3.LineItems[1].CommodityCode = "4900"
Level3.LineItems[1].Description = "Quick Start manual"
Level3.LineItems[1].DiscountAmount = ""
Level3.LineItems[1].ProductCode = "ISBN654321"
Level3.LineItems[1].Quantity = "1"
Level3.LineItems[1].TaxAmount = "60"
Level3.LineItems[1].TaxRate = "600" // 6.00 percent
Level3.LineItems[1].Total = "1060"
Level3.LineItems[1].UnitCost = "1000"
Level3.LineItems[1].Units = "each"
Error Event (Level3 Control)
Information about errors during data delivery.
Syntax
Sub level3control_Error(ErrorCode As Integer, Description As String)
Remarks
The Error event is fired in case of exceptional conditions during message processing.
ErrorCode contains an error code and Description contains a textual description of the error. For a list of valid error codes and their descriptions, please refer to the Error Codes section.
Config Settings (Level3 Control)
The control accepts one or more of the following configuration settings. Configuration settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the control, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.Level3 Config Settings | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
