Hello Altaf:
As mentioned by Vilmos Kintera, you might find sample code for using AIF services. But, nothing that you can directly use as base for your integration needs (Magento and AX).
If you ever decide to buy a product to integrate your Magento and AX systems, do checkout our product page. http://bit.ly/2hLywN6

Hello Mohammed Altaf,
First, let me congratulate you on identifying the need to integrate your Magento e-commerce store and your Dynamics AX ERP system. You have taken the first step towards differentiating yourself from competition.
You have two options to integrate Magento with Dynamics AX.
Option 1 – You leverage the import/ export functionality offered by both Magento and Dynamics AX and write code to automate that process. There are a lot of drawbacks associated with this approach and we do not recommend this. But this might work for you depending on your integration needs.
Option 2 – Use AIF web services as suggested by Vilmos Kintera.
What specifically are you trying to achieve with integration? The reason I ask this is integration can get very complex and should be dealt with caution. While with in-house development you are in complete control of the integration, we do not recommend doing this in house for the following reason
Consider this, AIF services will be replaced with other services in future versions of AX. Your custom integration solution will need to be redeveloped if you ever decide to upgrade your Dynamics AX system. The same is true for Magento. Magento 1 and Magento 2 are two completely different platforms.
This is assuming you are an e-commerce retailer who is better off spending the same time and money elsewhere (like your customers). There are a number of products available in the market, which can seamlessly integrate your Magento and Dynamics AX systems. Some of them can even be customized to meet your specific requirements (if any). You might want to evaluate them before moving forward.

I do not know how Magento works, my answer just tells you what can be used to exchange information directly with AX. I have answered that AIF services could exchange that information, which is a standard Windows Communication Foundation framework service (WCF). How you consume that from your eCommerce portal is up to you.
Here is an example, but you may find much more depending on what you have implemented (AIF document service or custom service) with your favorite search engine.

If your front-end cannot be developed that way, but could talk to for example BizTalk, or just generate files in a folder, maybe you could consider implementing BizTalk. That can receive the information (XML files) from your front-end, then convert it to the format that AX could digest and call the AIF port instead of you directly doing it from Magento.
A third possible solution could be to use the AX Data Import eXport Framework (DIXF), which can handle a couple of data entities out of the box, or you could develop your own ones to exchange information (export and import) in form of CSV files, or directly reading it out from an SQL database via ODBC for example.
Thanks for the reply @Vilmos Kintera
