What have you tried till now? Do you have any code? If yes, please post it. This is a huge question to answer and even vague too. Please be specific.

Ok. Here is the logic:
If you are giving a shopping cart feature to buy stuff, you have to register user in order to track all the details properly. Information helps throughout the existence of that user and not just for a session.
You need to ask user to register before buying/payment. You will capture necessary details like name, address, username, password. You need to make sure that the username is unique for your database. Once this is in place, you can always track a particular user easily along with the items in the cart.

Things can be added to this specific user cart. It's user discretion to keep or remove at the time of logging out or buying any other stuff from your website.


Now, apply it!

thank you,

have a look to www.4templates.com site. here user has not to registered himself before buying. He can add items to cart without login and if he want to checkout/payment for that then he need to login.
I want to do same operation like www.4templates.com

Use GUID in a session for that particular session as long as user is not logged in. This will keep unique session for that time and once user logs in, transfer the content to usrename.

Though, I would suggest you to ask user to login in order to add things to cart.

Guid g = Guid.NewGuid();
