    If you mean Dynamics 365 for Operations (which you should, as you're asking in the Dynamics AX forum), it uses X++. Nevertheless you can use and even author libraries in any .NET language and used them from X++. You can even implement interfaces and inherit from classes written in other languages.

    Other Dynamics 365 products use different languages.

    I'm not familiar with them. Either use a search engine to find this information (that's what I would do), or ask in the forum about the product you're interested in.

    Hi Arpan. Thus far, it appears only CRM and AX will be a part of the Dynamics 365 family. Other products such as NAV, GP, SL are retaining their original names. 'Dynamics 365 Operations' is the substitute name for AX. This is AX 7 as you may already know.

    In previous versions of CRM, enhancements could be written using ASP.NET, C#, JavaScript/HTML and SQL however this may have changed with D365. AX enhancements can be written in X++, C# and SQL back-end however most DB operations should be performed using X++ to ensure changes are made via the AOS layer. If you are wondering about whether to program in one or the other, core AX business operations and UI modifications will require programming in X++ however as Martin said, this can be interfaced with C# via the .NET platform. Service operations and external business logic components can be written in either C# or X++ however a sound knowledge of AX development is required to know which is suitable for certain enhancements.

    As far as I know, Dynamics 365 also includes Dynamics 365 for Financials (project Madeira).

    There are other parts as well, such as Power Apps, but we can omit them, if we're discussing programming languages only.
