ASP.NET 1.0 contractor for small but urgent job

[madpilot]

Hey guys,

In a bit of bind on a old job that I did in ASP.NET 1.0 that I can't support - it needs a really simple PayPal Postback page (The backend interface that PayPal POSTs to once a transaction is complete - sort of like IPN, although I'm not sure yet if it's the same) added to the existing code - it's probably only a couple of hours work, but it's gonna take me at least twice that to get my old environment set up and running, and since I'm flat out and I avoid .NET like the plague now, I just can't it done before the deadline (next Thursday).

If you can do it, please DM me your deets and rates ASAP - I'll try and dig up as much info about this particular PayPal feature (in unrelated news PAYPAL YOUR DOCUMENTATION SUCKS. *cough*), to make it as smooth for you as possible.

Update. Lets' assume for the moment it is IPN, the manual is here: https://cms.paypal.com/cms_content/US/en_US/files/developer/IPNGuide.pdf

You will basically have to create a .aspx page that rather than take POSTBACK data, will simply read in the POST variables (See document for fields), save that in to the database and then trigger an API call which will generate an registration code and email that to the user (THis stuff is already done, so it'll be a cut and paste job).

Existing PayPal Developer account would be beneficial (They are free http://developer.paypal.com). I'll even buy you some soap so you can wash off the dirty feeling of having to use the confounded dev tools.

.Net 1.0!! What about 1.1? No good?

Myles we have extensive experience with paypal's payflow system and have written the necessary classes to process payments but they are all in .net 3.5 - if you do find a dev that still does 1.0 - more than happy to share our knowledge with them.

there's some sample code for the paypal IPN stuff too, which should help:
