You can always use a Cookie to store the SKUs (or item_ids if you prefer). Also, feel free to download the Client Application we provide for the XWebCheckOut Web Service (http://www.xwebservices.com/Web_Services/XWebCheckOut/) to see one example of how to serialize the Basket and store it via a Web Service...
I would personally stay away from Session State or Viewstate.

It is not the classic wizard style shopping cart where you select items in one hit and then proceed to the checkout. More the cart is maintained somehow and the user can click from page to page selecting items and then proceed to checkout. I am using .NET 2.0 (ASP.NET & C#) and my question is, how do I maintain this order in memory. I really do not want to use the session to store the cart, are there any new techniques I can use in .NET 2.0 or what are people's advice on this much travelled topic.
