SetShoppingCart	Supports the persistent Shopping Cart and allows anonymous users to add items to the Shopping Cart. Triggered by the application's WebSessionStart event. When a session begins, the method does the following: n If an anonymous user, does nothing. n If CurrentQuoteId is not empty (that is, the user already has a Shopping Cart), checks if the Shopping Cart quote type is Anonymous Quote. If Anonymous Quote, converts it to Persistent Cart and sets Contact Id to the login Id of the user. n If CurrentQuoteId is empty, tries to find an existing quote of type Persistent Cart (user's Shopping Cart from the previous session) and set CurrentQuoteId to that quote ID. If there is no such quote, the user did not leave a Shopping Cart (for example, saved it as a quote or checked out).
