VS2010: What is the best way to access a remote database over the internet from a WinForms application? By that I don’t mean talking to the database (SQL Server) directly, but rather through a service. Best if I could use http as a protocol to avoid firewall issues.
Would recommend that you look at WCF
If you have control over both ends of the connection, you then can change protocol etc through configuration, but yes, http:80 is usually the easiest way to adhere to firewall policies.
