I have a windows tablet application which store some data from the users. Now i need to send this data to a server via Internet. What all options are there for me to try?? I think syncng the server and client database wont do good since multiple tablets are getting connected to the server.
I think syncng the server and client database wont do good since multiple tablets are getting connected to the server.Why do you think that? How do you think web servers work? Databases can easily handle multiple connections.
You can either directly connect to the db server, if it supports remote connections, or you can create a webservice and communicate with db via that. Either way, be sure to set the permissions right, otherwise you might have a serious security problem.

If you want to use a direct connection, you connect to a database exactly the same way as if it was on the same machine. How do you connect to that CE db?? You just need to alter the connection string, but everything else stays the same.
If you want to use a webservice for parsing and communicating with the database, the things get a bit more complicated, but it’s still fairly simple. Search the google (or SO) how to use a webservice and how to create one. There are plenty of examples and tutorials out there. It’s impossible to cover it all in here I’m afraid.
