develop auction site?

[sanjuT]

i need to make a simple auction site.

user enters name, extension and bid.

the page also displays all items (in text, no pics) and the current bid for each item.

i have never done this sort of thing before, can anyone point me in the right direction?

my boss gave me till tomorrow to do it, is that unrealistic?

THANKS!!

Hi,
Not sure how experienced you are in ASP but if you haven't done it before then your Boss is being very unrealistic. Have you built and e-commerce shoping cart before? Do you know how to use different cursor types to lock database tables, records etc. to prevent concurrency issues?
Tell you boss there is nothing simple about any auction site and certainly not possible in around 8 hours (working day).
I can help you build an auction but i will not build it for you however this would depend on your level of ASP programming.

i agree with Ribeyed .. in terms of coding it from scratch it seems really unrealistic .. if u MUST have this done, there are some pre-made freeware apps that u may be able to use / modify quickly to satisfy ur needs ..

i would always recomend u code from scratch over this .. but if u're really stuck ..

thanks to the both of you!

basically i am updating the page manually for now, it's a short auction, so i had to do it manually.

i'll look into the link, thanks again!
