The .NET Business Connector enables applications to interact with Application Object Server instances by providing a set of managed classes that facilitate access to X++ functionality in Microsoft Dynamics AX.

The Business Connector is installed and used with several components, including Enterprise Portal and the Application Integration Framework. Enterprise Portal, for example, allows users to access Microsoft Dynamics AX functionality and data using a Web browser. When a user connects to Enterprise Portal, the Business Connector is the key component that bridges Enterprise Portal and Microsoft Dynamics AX.

The .NET Business Connector can also be installed as a stand-alone component and used to develop third-party applications that integrate with Microsoft Dynamics AX.

To support integration with Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services and to enhance product security, the .NET Business Connector requires Windows integrated authentication.

Install and uninstall the Business Connector using Setup.exe on the Microsoft Dynamics AX DVD. For more information about installing the Business Connector, see the Microsoft Dynamics AXInstallation Guide.
