Is there any way to run a pipeline in a C# Forms or console application?

I read in another post that you can't use the PipelineInfo class in a
non-web application. Is this true? If so, is there any other way to run a
pipeline from a non-web app?

I'm stuck creating orders in a batch process and I'd prefer not to have to
hit the web server if at all possible.

The commerce Order context can only be obtained in a web application.

That's not true. I can access the order context just fine (found that tidbit
in another posting). I am able to create and manipulate both baskets and
orders. The only thing I can't figure out how to do is run the basket and
totals pipelines on a new basket before I save it as an order.

If you want to run pipelines from the console application you should use OrderGroup.RunPipeline(pipeInfo, pipeline) method.
Here is some sample code for how to run pipelines from the console application.

PipelineInfo pipeInfo = new PipelineInfo(pipelineName);

//You'll need to manually configure the pipe context dictionary here.
//Here is some sample of configuring the message manager and cache manager.
// In this sample all caches are not configured so you'll need to configure all the caches in the cache manager.

CacheManagerClass cacheManager = null;
MessageManagerClass msgManager = null;
try
{

//Create the Cachemanager object
cacheManager = new CacheManagerClass();
//Create the Messagemanager object
msgManager = new MessageManagerClass();
msgManager.AddLanguage("en-US", 1033);
msgManager.AddMessage("pur_badsku", "One or more items were removed from the basket", "en-US");
msgManager.AddMessage("pur_noitems", "No items were found in the basket", "en-US");
msgManager.AddMessage("pur_badplacedprice", "Placed price was not correct", "en-US");

//Set the components in the dictionary
ConfigureCatalogSystem(pipeInfo, cacheManager);
ConfigureMarketingSystem(pipeInfo, cacheManager);
ConfigureOrderManagementContext(pipeInfo, cacheManager);

pipeInfo["cachemanager"] = cacheManager;
pipeInfo["MessageManager"] = msgManager;
pipeInfo["CommerceResources"] = this.resources;
}
finally
{
if (cacheManager != null)
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(cacheManager);
if (msgManager != null)
Marshal.ReleaseComObject(msgManager);
}

//Like wise you'll need to configure the catalog system , Order system and campaigns system properties in the context dictionary.

PipelineBase pipeline = new OrderPipeline(pipelineName, pcfFilePath, false, logFilePath, false);
basket.RunPipeline(pipeInfo, pipeline);

I don't have the complete sample right now so give it a shot and if you've problems then get back to me.

Thanks
