AX.NET

Overview

AX.NET is a .NET Framework that enables full .NET integration with business logic and data within Microsoft Dynamics AX. AX.NET achieves this by creating a .NET version of the Microsoft Dynamics AX AOT that the developer can access using standard .NET technologies such as LINQ, Data Binding etc.
The .NET AOT is automatically generated by the AX.NET Assembly Generator. The AX.NET Assembly Generator can automatically generate a .NET Assembly that contains tables, classes and enums from a specific Microsoft Dynamics AX Application. The .NET AOT is therefore fully customizable to any Microsoft Dynamics AX Application.
By making a .NET model of the Microsoft Dynamics AX Application available in the AX.NET Assembly, it is possible to achieve a full and intuitive integration with Microsoft Dynamics AX using existing productivity enhancing tools like Intellicense and automatic compilation check in Visual Studio. AX.NET makes .NET development for Microsoft Dynamics AX feel like real .NET development!
With the scheduled release of AX.NET Server later this year, AX.NET will go Cloud. The next generation of AX.NET will support connecting to the AX.NET Server, while the current version only connects directly to a Microsoft Dynamics AX AOS using the Business Connector.
AX.NET Server will provide full access to Microsoft Dynamics AX over standard web service interfaces. By using AX.NET together with AX.NET Server it is possible to develop applications that integrate with Microsoft Dynamics AX over the internet or through Microsoft’s Cloud called Windows Azure.
The current version of AX.NET is already compatible with AX.NET Server, so you can already start developing your application and take it to the Cloud later with AX.NET Server!

Benefits

AX.NET offers numerous benefits both in terms of technology and business opportunities. The most important benefits are described below.
