Hi!
I have forum use bulentin board(ikonboard) that is ran on Linux, and use MySQL as a database server. The users are now accessing it via web-browser.
What i would like to do is to write and client application with .NET technology, namely with C#, to connect to the MySQL server via the Internet, and retrieve the data, then format it and output it to the user on local machine. However, i dont know how to go about doing this. Can anyone give me some hints??
Will i need to write my own server application that runs on the Linux server machine so my client can connect to or can my client can connect straight to the MySQL port ??
Thanks!!
Best regard
