RE: VB.Net app send information via HTTP to SQL server

Hi Jonathan,

From your description, you're going to write a client winform program that
will send some data to a remote SQL Serve database hosted on a host
provider's server, correct?

Based on my understanding, since database server(such as SQL Server is
normally protected from directly internet access, especially for those high
restricted host providers), you may consider the following means to make
your application here:


** Instead of a winform app, why don't you add an additional page(like an
adminstrative page) in your existing ASP.NET web application and add
ADO.NET code in this page to query or update the backend database. Thus,
you can just access this administrative page directly rather than create
another winform application.


** Instead of web page, you can create a webservice in your ASP.NET
application and put the ADO.NET code which update database in the
webservice. And your local winform application can just call that
webservice to update database:

Hi

A want to write a new local VB.Net application. One of the features I want
it to have is to be able to send a few small pieces of information to my
website's backend SQL Server database hosted at GoDaddy.com. E.g.

Client Code: 456418
Amount: $455.98
Stock Number: 945482

I expect I'll just want to run an INSERT query statement to append this
data
to the financial transactions table.

How could I do this? I have programmed quite a bit in MSAccess, used
FrontPage to write ASP.NET but never with VB.Net Studio. I can download VS
Express VB.Net from MS.
