I am using QuickBooks desktop version, i have created an asp.net application to integrate it with QuickBooks , but now i need to know how can i use the Web connector to integrate them.
do i need to create an asp.net webservice application? please advice.
The QuickBooks Web Connector is essentially a SOAP web service client that is installed alongside QuickBooks and polls your website asking "What have you got for me to do?". You feed it XML requests (e.g. <CustomerAdd>...</CustomerAdd> that it relays to QuickBooks. QuickBooks processes those requests and sends you back a response.
There's a good overview (and some technical details) on our QuickBooks integration wiki.
You should probably start by downloading the QuickBooks SDK. The SDK includes a few examples in this directory that would be helpful to you:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Intuit\IDN\QBSDK12.0\samples\qbdt\c-sharp\qbXML\WCWebService
Once you have the basic structure of your SOAP web service laid out, everything is pretty simple. Whenever the Web Connector connects you just feed it qbXML requests. Here are some sample qbXML requests to take a look at:
- QuickBooks qbXML for adding a customer
- QuickBooks qbXML for adding a received payment
A full reference of all available qbXML requests is available via the QuickBooks OSR guide.

I am trying to develop a simple customer connector for my website on microsoft flow and so far I can't see how to use a web API that is hosted on my website every article tutorial I am coming by require APIs to be hosted on Azure, also an Azure account is a prerequisite .. is it true Only azure APIs to be used for custom connectors ?
Azure is not a prerequisite for Custom Connector. I agree that most of the tutorials talk about connecting Azure hosted apps.
Microsoft flow currently supports creating custom connector with Swagger API output or postman exported data. I created a Postman collection with the API and gave the exported data as input to Microsoft flow for creating the connector.
Detailed Tutorial is available here
https://flow.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/postman-collection/
I have the same issue, I have configured a custom connector for testing to go against this test / mock API
POST -> https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts
In the connector test it keep on hitting this URL:

I have never configure it to go there. No document explains how or why this would happen.
I came across this terminology while working with Alfresco. Is web script a type of RESTFul web services?
Web scripts provide a unique way to interact with the Alfresco repository. With help of web script one can search or access contents within alfresco repository. It's basically a RESTful web service. Alfresco provides REST architecture based framework for web script. It is a simple service bound to a URI and based on HTTP.

i just found one nice article about online chatting application with converse.js i read it's documentation and i like it. how ever i just have doubt it is there this chat facility can supported with asp.net 4.0 web site. Here i just want to know about in details is it supported with .net application.
here it's tells XMPP Chat server. Is there any additional cost for purchase it. After that how i setup this server for chat facility. here it's gives advice for identity i have to manually register user with it and i can use with my own web site.
Is there any one have idea how i implement this to my web site. Step By Step
Please help me..
Since you mentioned Asp.net so I am assuming you are talking about windows platform. I am using Openfire for XMPP messaging since last 5-6 years now and it is very easy to use and stable XMPP server. You can install it on your server and then configure Converse.js and XAMPP in conjunction with it to get web client chat feature. I referred this link to configure XAMPP along with Openfire: https://community.igniterealtime.org/docs/DOC-2954
Basic steps:
1. Install Openfire
2. Install XAMPP and configure as given in above link
3. Configure Converse.js in Asp.net application
I can't find anything on the implementation of service discovery for the ASP.NET Web API. For a new project I need to make a decision between WCF and Web API. The service element will be consumed by a variety of clients, mobile, client-side JavaScript but also an ASP.NET website.
For the website the convenience of being able to generate a client against a WCF service is obviously a plus. I am not that familiar with RESTful web services but I see that there is Web Application Description Language (WADL). Maybe it is my ignorance but surely it is a good thing to be able to advertise the correct way to consume your service?
My main question: is there anything that generates a WADL or similar for WEB API?
Secondary question: this tool looks like it generates a client based on a WADL, is there anything else that makes life easy keeping a client up to date with a RESTful web service?
There is a considerable amount of work going in there. It is not finished but watch the space.

I have to write an app for iPad that would take data from SQL Server and post it to the iPad. I looked up on this over the Internet and found that i have to write a web service to expose the data from SQL server using ASP.NET. I did an app previously in android that would take data from my dropbox a/c and display it to the user. I made use of the drop-box api available. I was wondering if anything like that exists for SQL? Also, i have to code in Obj-C for the iPad, so how will
i write ASP.NET code? I have more doubts.
Thanks in advance.
There are many options for web services. If you are developing in ASP.NET and don't want to invest to much time in just accessing the data I would suggest some software that will help you generate the source code.
WSSF (Web Service Software Factory) is software that will assist you in creating a SOAP web service and it generates source code for you. I do recommend however working through a tutorial first before just jumping into using this. WSSF uses visual studio as well.
Once you have a web service that packages your SQL data for communication through http requests. You will need to parse the data communicated in Objective-C. For this you'll find SudzC to be very helpful.
SudzC generates all the source code for accessing your web service in Objective-C, given the WSDL.xml file of your web service (a file that lays out the design of your web service).
Although these software will save you a lot of coding, I wish I could tell you that this will be a short and easy process. However this is vary rarely the case, developing this will take you a couple of days.
I do know that people often use RESTful web services when dealing with the iOS enviroment, although I do not have the same kind of experience with them as I do SOAP web services. I hope that this information is helpful to you.
I've done this. The best way is to use .NET 3.5 or higher to create a WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) project. These projects will let you communicate with your mobile application using REST or SOAP. They also let you send data in XML or JSON format. You will then need to create a REST or SOAP client in your IPad application to communicate with the server.
Use OData. See Creating an OData API for StackOverflow including XML and JSON in 30 minutes for how to publish your SQL Server data as an OData service. See Consuming OData using Objective-C for how to consume the OData service from your iPhone app.
