[11.8.5] Custom LineItem implementation for serializedcart?
SerializableCart is different so the settings in ecf.order.config do not apply. I haven't tried it but I think you would have to extend SerializableLineItem (yes, it is supposed an internal class) and read/write to Properties from your properites.

I think think it would be "safer" in the long run to just go ahead and create extension methods for ILineItem (ore maybe IExtendedProperties) and not be dependent on a specific implementation.
Thank you (again) for you help! :)

The biggest problem with the extension methods are that they are harder to test.
You can do something like this:
public static void SetProperty(Hashtable properties, string name, object value)
{
properties[name.ToLower()] = value;
}
Then you would be able to call it on any lineitem to save the value:
SetLineItemProperty(lineItem, nameof(CartItemModel.IsDirectDeliveryProduct), model.IsDirectDeliveryProduct);
Be careful with arrays though, since they are not supported by Episerver.

Hi,
Does anyone have any hints about the steps needed to implement a custom LineItem (for serialized carts)?
I would like to have a custom LineItem class, with properties for various things (to make it simpler to use than using ...Properties[".."] as string, etc.), what needs to be changed/coded to make ICart.CreateLineItem() return an instance of my custom LineItem class, etc?
I tried inheriting from the Mediachase.Commerce.Orders.LineItem class, and registering the new class in ecf.order.config, but I get an exception about EPiServer.Commerce.Order.Internal.SerializableLineItem not being castable to my custom line item class.
