Question Windows App with web interface

[ross246]

Hi there, im new to the forums but I have some experience with vb.net.

I want to create a windows application that has the ability to allow a user to "login" to the application via the internet and a website that the application serves, and lets the user interact with the program ie change settings etc. I have seen this done with many applications, almost like a web interface back end. Sorry I can't be more clear

I have searched all over the internet but can't find any examples or starting points. Maybe im using the wrong key words I dont know if there is a name for this type of thing.

Thanks in advance,
Ross.

You're talking about two separate applications, i.e. two separate front-ends to the same back-end. Either of:

1. One database accessed by both Windows front-end and web front-end.

2. One database accessed by one web service accessed by both Windows front-end and web front-end.
