Use this system option to describe the .Net assembly containing a custom dues calculation method.

Example: extension|Avectra.netForum.Extension|CalculateDues|FacadeClass:oFacadeObject

There are four values, separated by the pipe symbol:

1. Assembly
2. Namespace
3. Method name - must be public and must return a string which, ultimately, will evaluate to a decimal, or, in the case of an error, a string.
4. List of any parameters in the format Type:Variable;Type2:Variable2 etc. Most commonly, you will pass in the active FacadeClass, as shown above

The default for this option is empty.

Code Sample

System Option Value:

AVComponent|AV.CustomDuesCalculation|GetDues|FacadeClass:oFacadeObject

        public static string GetDues(FacadeClass oF)
        {
            string szRetVal = "DEFAULT";
            string szCustKey = oF.GetValue("mbr_cst_key").ToString();
            string szPakageKey = oF.GetValue("mbr_pak_prd_key").ToString();
 
            //The SP will return a price from your own business logic
            string szSql = "client_av_dues_calculation @pak_prd_key='" + @szPakageKey + "', @cst_key='" + @szCustKey + "'";
 
            DataSetClass oDs = DataUtils.GetDataSetClass(szSql);
            if (oDs != null && oDs.Tables[0].Rows.Count == 1)
            {
                //the returned price will be set to the ivd_price on the invoice detail on the shopping cart
                 return oDs.GetValueByName("prc_price").ToString();
            }
 
            //If noting return, DEFAULT will be returned
            return szRetVal;
        }
    }
