I read some of your posts and all are nice and informative .
However, I am a newbie to commerce server development and aftre installing Commerce Server 2009, MS SQL 2005 and VS 2008
in a Windows 2003 box really struggling hard to create my first application in asp.net .

1. Could you please let me know what are the tools I need to use to build a simple catalog system.
2. Is there any way to create and add new catalogs and products to the database .
(I have downloaded commerce Server 2009 partner sdk, but when I open Catalog manager none of the menus are working .
They are laa in disable state like File->New->catalog)
3. What are the steps I need to follow to build a simple catalog system (to view catalogs and products)

Any help is highly appriciated .

Thanks
Rabi
