Incorrect or invalid profile data information may be displayed when you log on to the Retail2002 site

When you log on to the Microsoft Commerce Server 2002 Retail2002 site, invalid or incorrect profile data information may be displayed.

This problem occurs because the HTTP OutputCache .NET directive is enabled on the Retail2002 site code. When HTTP OutputCache is enabled, invalid profile information is returned to a user when that user logs on to the Retail2002 site. Depending on the data that is cached at the server, the content that is displayed may not be relevant to the user. For more information about HTTP Output Cache, visit the following MSDN Web site:

To resolve this problem, remove the following line from the Myaccount.aspx file after you unpack the Retail2002 site:

<%@ OutputCache Duration="1" VaryByParam = "none"%>

Note This line cannot be commented out because it is a directive that must be removed. Additionally, the value cannot be set to zero.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a bug in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section of this article.

The Retail2002 site is a functional example of a site that was created by using .NET technologies and Commerce Server 2002. It is a sample site only, and it was not tested or intended to be production grade. If you extend the site for your own use, Microsoft recommends that you thoroughly test the site to make sure that the site and your extensions meet your requirements. For more information about the Retail2002 site, visit the following MSDN Web site: Microsoft Solution for Internet Business (MSIB) was developed because of emerging business models that have transformed Internet sites from relatively simple structures that are made up of linked HTML pages to complex, feature-rich applications that can provide content and automate business processes, such as selling and purchasing, and also provide personalization and collect data for analysis. MSIB is an integrated solution that is built by using high-quality servers that are running Microsoft Windows .NET Enterprise Server to provide end-to-end processes and features for sophisticated Internet sites.
