Write business logic using C# but can I use Entity Framework?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

I am trying to port Asp.net c# app to D365.

For tables we managed to migrate about 80 tables to D365 as custom tables and for UI we managed to reuse AngularUI components as Extensible Control. Currently I am working in migrating business logic and looking for some shortcut again. I read an article about writing c++ and call from x++ (link). In this article it uses Dynamics.AX.Framework.Linq.Data( very similar to Entity Framework) to access the database but I was wondering I can use Entity Framework instead.

    There is no AX data provider for Entity Framework, therefore you can't use this framework unless you're willing to write the provider by yourself.

    By the way, the LINQ provider wouldn't help you in your integration scenario. Use OData services instead.

    May I ask why? I am creating POC and seems LINQ query works at lease I can get the result for a particular table.

    Just you know I am submitting data through OData so works with angularUI and call functions in assembly class when validating on the server side.

    If it means that you're using that from inside AX and not from a separate application, then yes, you can use it.
