Integrate Dyanmics AX 2012 and custom ASP.NET application (using Visual Studio 2010 and C#.NET)

Hi,

I have no experience using Dynamics AX and I need to make an integration between a custom ASP.NET application and Dynamics AX.

The need is to get invoices from Dynamics AX and modify them in ASP.NET and save them back to Dynamics AX.

My questions are related to CRUD data on Dynamics AX from the custom application and how to integrate them.

I made some small research and found out that Dynamics AX has WCF web services (great) that you can call to get/save data. There is also a .NET Business Connector that you can use in order to access data. Did I understood ir right?

For my scenario, which one is better: web services or .NET Business Connector? Do you have (or point me to) some source code samples about some integrations?

Thank you.

    Hi,

    You are right, you can use both but I would suggest you to use services (AIF). Because Microsoft has made huge investment in improving the services (AIF document services) and shipped with 90+ out-of-the-box document services. Also, since AIF services are actually the WCF services which is an acceptable standard for application integration scenarios.

    Services are the way forward.
