    Question Question on database access via web

    I have a windows desktop app I'd like to release that would access data from a database on the web. Never done this before, so not sure what's needed either on the client side or the server side.

    Can anyone point me to some information on how to do this?

    Re: Question on database access via web

    Are you intending to connect to the database directly or via a web service? If it's your own database and you have a web server available then you would probably want to create a web service and have the Windows clients connect to that. If it's an existing database then you're constrained by what the host provides in the way of access.

    If you intend to connect directly, what sort of database is it?
