variant weight, height, width, and length not used in calculation

I believe I found a strange bug regarding product variants.
I discovered that the variants always use the core product's values for the shipping parameters.
It's driving me nuts. As soon as the parentID is set in the ConvertDataRow() function, the product variant values instantly change to the parent product's values. Because of this, shipping is not computed correctly.
I can't seem to find an event that is causing this and stepping through the code doesn't indicate that there is any event being raised when the parentID is changed for a variant.
Has this been looked into? Can anyone reproduce this? Any solutions?

I think I got it figured out. The weight was changed for the variant (just didn't look closely enough).
I'm changing the Properties in the class for the other 3 values to pull the variant's shipping dimensions which are not editable in the admin section (soon they will be and this issue will be resolved). :smile:

Wow, I discovered that to add a single product to the cart takes 29 trips to the database. Simply stepping through the debugger and putting a break on ConvertDataRow function which was hit 29 times before the cart page finally displayed it's one and only product with 2 variants. Maybe you guys should not use the Microsoft Recommended Practices (they are against pointers, which I feel is an incredibly bad suggestion - they are trading performance for stability, but if you do pointers right, it's actually easier to debug)

miracle cat,
Which service pack are you running. There was a lot of optimization done to the cart page later.
