Consuming AIF Web Service as a Datasource in WebPart form

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 30

Hi ,

I have begun to work in AX 2012 EP development  ,  in a requirement where i have to design a EP Portal for vendor , the UI part will be the tradition (WEb part / WebControls)

but my requirement is to consume AIF service as data source (Data Set) , i am not suppose to create data-Set for Web part , no AX table directly involved .

I am new to C# , i have created EP user control form with Grid , now i am looking a way  to consume  custom AIF services to pull/push  data on/from grid .

Not sure how to create fields without data source and where to write logic to populate grid with data i am receiving  from AIF custom service .

Is there a good blog which match my requirement  !

seeking for valuable advise .

BR, Arpit

    EP uses business connector. Through the business connector you have access to all the x++ methods, why would you want to access a web service that goes through it own framework and extra layer when you can call the classes directly?
