I have researched and understand that I am supposed to use interfaces in the abstractions namespace but I am not sure how to use the interfaces.

How to replace HostController by IHostSettingsService? Started By Michael Tobisch Hi all, in a custom module I get a warning saying Obsolete('Deprecated in 9.7.1.

Change PayPalSubscrition.aspx.cs on v6.1.3 Started By Chad R I've made the change to this file to remove the currency symbols in pricing related PayPal parameters. Now I need to deploy that change.
