How do i get transaction id from Paypal using mvc 4 c#. I have tried a lot of the code but not working. Here is the sample of the code:

Here is the code:

public ActionResult GetResponse()
{
try
{
//ID, TransactionID, TransactionDate, Amount, UnitID, UserEmail, TransactionType
string TransactionID = "NO";
string TransactionDate = System.DateTime.Now.ToString();
string UnitID = Session["UnitID"].ToString();
string Amount = Session["payamount"].ToString();
string UserEmail = Session["UserEmailMain"].ToString();
string TransactionType = "Paypal";
string Quantity = Session["Quantity"].ToString();
PayPalModel model = new PayPalModel();
model.TransactionID = TransactionID;
model.TransactionDate = TransactionDate;
model.UnitId = UnitID;
model.Amount = Amount;
model.UserEmail = UserEmail;
model.TransactionType = TransactionType;
model.Quantity = Quantity;
Transaction items = new Transaction();
items.TransactionID = model.TransactionID;
items.TransactionDate = Convert.ToDateTime(model.TransactionDate);
items.UnitID = Convert.ToInt32(model.UnitId);
items.Amount = model.Amount;
items.UserEmail = model.UserEmail;
items.TransactionType = model.TransactionType;
items.Quantity = Convert.ToInt32(model.Quantity);
//int insertresult = objAdmin.InsertTransaction(items);

Please use the following couple of lines to get the transaction ID once you redirected to your given Redirect URL page from PayPal site.
var payment = Payment.Get(apiContext, "PAY-89W644977H834061FKTDRCCY");
var transactionId = payment.transactions[0].related_resources[0].sale.id;

I see you have not written any code to interact with PayPal at all. How your application is going to connect to PayPal for payment? Only then PayPal will return you something like a transaction id.

I think the best way is to refer PayPal developer website:

http://paypal.github.io/PayPal-NET-SDK/Samples/PaymentWithPayPal.aspx.html
