Question Client-Server Login

[Bizz]

Hy there everyone!

I try to make one application that will first show login form (with textbox for username and password) and when I press login client application send request to server side application that make SQL query (local) and return some values and that values will be listed in main form.

I hope that you understand what I want to do, I try something with TCP chat source codes but I don't manage what I want.

If someone maybe know better way to do this, freely post

Thanks!
Bizz

Where is the server? Is it on the web or on the same LAN as the client?

 

[Bizz]

On web (dedicated) server, but I would not open ports for MySQL for security reason, because that I need Client-Server application.

It sounds like your client should be connecting to a web service that then connects to the database.

Correct and then return needing data back to client. For example, something like Steam, xFire...
