Resolved VS2010 WinForms App connect to dll on webserver

[JuggaloBrotha]

I have a desktop WinForms app that I would like to be able to connect to my Sql Server database that I have through my GoDaddy webhost. Problem is not all ISP's forward the 1433 port (like mine) so I can't connect directly to the DB from any of my home computers without buying the expensive dedicated IP address package, which has me thinking since my website can connect directly to the DB I was wondering if it might be possible for me to make a dll that would have all of the database interaction through subs and functions and all my WinForms app would have to do is connect to that dll through http or something, anyone know if I could do something along those lines?

Reason for this is I would like other people to be able to connect to this database (the winforms app would have screens for creating and managing accounts, etc) without worrying about whether their ISP would block the DB port(s) it would just work.

Also I can't make this app a webapp either.

What you're talking about sounds a lot like a web service. In fact, it sounds exactly like a web service.

I'm afraid that that question makes no sense.

Sorry, there's obviously a language barrier but I still don't know exactly what you're asking. It doesn't sound like it's specifically relevant to this topic though.
