I’ve been working on a WP7 application that locates the nearest ‘alternative’ sports centre based on your GPS location using a database of alternative sports locations (The idea being to promote less popular sports amongst university students).

However, the app has to connect to a MyPHP database hosted on a wordpress website. I have the details required to access it but there isn’t much literature on the web about using a WCF service to connect to a remote database. I was wondering if there was a (preferebly) easy way of doing this?

    phpMyAdmin is simply a frontend for a database. It is generally MySQL. So the question then becomes “How can I access data in MySQL from Windows Phone”.

    Create a WCF service that uses Linq to access the Data in MySQL. Then access this WCF service from windows phone.
