Mono Support Any way to use monoX for comparing products ?

I am planning to use monoX for displaying a few products because CMS website is a great way to advertise products.

FYI: I am not planning to sell products so I am not looking for ecommerce functionality. I love monoX because of its CMS features and this is a great way to advertise products.

So my question is, is there any way by which I can create a list of products and add specification (details) about those products and people will be able to compare specifications of the products on the website ?

Seems like this feature might not be available by default so it will need comes code modification - I would deeply appreciate if anyone can help me with the code ? and how to go about it ? or if there is any other easier way to accomplish this ?

Sorry for a delay, there is no built-in eCommerce functionality inside the MonoX, so you will need to develop this by your self. Best approach would be to take a look at some other eCommerce solutions and see how they work then down size the scope and start working on it. 

I'd suggest the following
- Add all the lookup tables you need (Companies, Products, etc.)
- Generate LLBLGen DAL that includes these lookup tables (if you are going to use LLBLGen then you need to use their ORM Desinger)
- Now you need to build few data entry screens for these tables
- Now you have all the prerequisites for product comparison and now you need to build few WebParts that will be used to as front-end modules
Take a look at the following articles for more information

Note: eCommerce solution is far more complex than this, so we can't provide you the whole solution. You will need to start from somewhere and then we can kick in and help you for some specific problems.
