price range
Hi Luke,
    We would like to see a feature that would let us show a price range on the category and product pages instead of the static price when using variable pricing in product attributes.

Re: price range
You can add a custom field say "Price Range" to Product. Take a look at this for how to add the custom field. And then you can use Product.CustomFields in the appropriate places e.g. Web\Store\ProductSummary\Price.ascx.cs.

Re: price range
We've created the custom field "PriceRange" and added to Web\Store\ProductSummary\Price.ascx.cs. Snipet of code below:
 
Our thinking is that if there is no data in the PriceRange field, then continue processing the pricing procedure normally.  If there is data in the PriceRange field, then display that instead of the normal pricing
 
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
 
    public override void DataBind() {
        base.DataBind();
        if (null != Product.PriceRange) {
            lblCurrentPrice.Text = Product.PriceRange.ToString("c");
        } else { if (0 == Product.Price)
            lblCurrentPrice.Visible = lblCrossPrice.Visible = false;
 
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
 
But gives the following error when the page loads

Re: price range
You need to use Product.CustomFields to get access to the custom field that you added.

Re: price range
So here's what I tried next
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
        base.DataBind();
        if (null != Product.CustomFields.PriceRange) {
            lblCurrentPrice.Text = Product.CustomFields.PriceRange.ToString("c");
        } else { if (0 == Product.Price)
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
 
And it errored as follows

Re: price range
CustomFields is a List of CustomField. Try
        var priceRange = Product.CustomFields.SingleOrDefault(c => c.Name == "PriceRange");
        if (priceRange != null)
            // then use priceRange.Value

Did you have the following at the top? If not, add it.
