About Catalog Site Code Migration to Commerce Server 2007
The Catalogs namespace has been rewritten in Commerce Server 2007 to rely completely on managed code. In your site code, search for and replace any instances of Microsoft.CommerceServer.Runtime.Catalogs with Microsoft.CommerceServer.Catalog. Although many of the classes and members within the namespace have stayed the same, there have also been a number of changes. The following table contains a list of obsolete APIs and their replacements in the new Microsoft.CommerceServer.Catalog namespace:
