Does anyone know how to write a custom page to set shipping rates for a
specific method in .net?

The runtime objects only have a getshippingmethods method. Somehow I would
like to open the marshalled data to retrieve the rates, display them, and
have the ability to update them.

Please let me know if anyone has been able to accomplish this.

Thanks,
Drew

The following class should help you do this:

ShippingMethodManager.CreateMethodInstance Method (PIA)

From the Help:

ShippingMethodManager.CreateMethodInstance Method (PIA)
Use this method to create a new shipping method.

Definition
[Visual Basic .NET]
Imports Microsoft.CommerceServer.Interop.Orders
…
Public Function CreateMethodInstance(
ByRef bOnDisk As Object
) As Object
[C#]
using Microsoft.CommerceServer.Interop.Orders;
…
public object CreateMethodInstance(
ref object bOnDisk
);
Parameters
[Visual Basic .NET]
bOnDisk
An Object containing a Boolean indicating whether or not to create the
shipping method on disk. This parameter is usually set to True.
[C#]
bOnDisk
An object containing a bool value indicating whether or not to create the
shipping method on disk. This parameter is usually set to True.
Return Values
[Visual Basic .NET] If this method completes successfully, it returns an
Object containing a string that is the method ID of the new shipping
method. The method returns an empty string when the bOnDisk parameter is
False.

[C#] This method returns an object containing a string that is the method
ID of the new method. It is set to an empty string value if the bOnDisk
parameter is False.

Exceptions
This method may throw one of many mapped exceptions or an exception of type
COMException. See Standard COM Errors for additional details.

Remarks
If the shipping method is created to be saved on disk (the bOnSaved
parameter is True), the function adds a new record to the current recordset
with the enabled column value set to zero (0) and the shipping_method_id
column set to the new shipping method ID.
