问题
I have to integrate C# Windows application with Sage Line 50. (To send all invoice details from application to Sage).
I searched on Google and most of the places it says to integrate Sage Line 50, we need to use Sage development kit (SDK). But it's not free.
We already bought Sage Line 50. But now I want to know how we can integrate our accounting software with Sage Line 50?
I found this URL
http://crmsageconnector.codeplex.com/
they use Microsoft Dynamics CRM Connector for Sage Line 50 to synchronization of data, as well as data migration.
回答1:
Yes, the Sage 50 Accounts SDK is required if you want to integrate your accounting data to Sage... And yes, it costs money: about £1500.
For this you get full access to the development support team (who are really helpful and know what they're talking about), the SDK DLLs, comprehensive SDK docs and the activation keys in order for you to start using the SDKs with Sage.
Note - the example codes are written in C# and VB.Net.

I have been looking into exactly the same issue. The Sage SDK is £1500 PER YEAR!!! and my understanding after speaking to Sage is that any applications developed with this years version would not necessarily work with future versions of Sage so you would need to spend ANOTHER!!! £1500 to get the latest dll's etc if your application needs updating for later versions. That’s too rich for me and more importantly my client.
I have been looking at alternatives and found SDATA at
http://sage.github.io/SData-2.0/
This is quite tricky stuff but for anyone interested it is allowing me to query customer information and crucially it is allowing me to add and edit customers. I’m going to try adding invoices next.
I’ve been using the link above and the example .net client here as reference
https://github.com/Sage/SDataCSharpClientLib
Hope this helps someone.

Sage Data objects C# seems to be an alternative, paid one, but the website don't have download link working http://www.sagedataobjects.com/

You need to apply to become a sage developer over at http://www.sage.co.uk/partnering-sage/developers/index.html
Chose an option that suits you best and apply or you can hire a developer that has already paid to become a member to write the code for you (like me lol).

You may find my product PostTrans which imports data from excel of use. By using excel you can easily add you own code/macros/formula to manipulate data before posting into the Sage 50 accounts, with full validation and in cell search for codes.
idaea for data entry, or import of external data. see http://www.posttrans.co.uk/
Sorry for the advert, but may be of help ;_)
