Communication between Windows Form Application and Web Page in C#

I am developing a windows based application using C#.

This should be used by the customer after some verification. Every time they enter t开发者_运维百科he details, the information should be validated in the server. And based on the response the windows-application should proceed further.

Could you please suggest me some examples or technologies ideal for this scenario?

I read through the documentations about WebClient and HttpWebRequest. But still I am not clear. Sorry I am an Embedded Systems Programmer. I haven't worked on Server related technologies.

Thanks for your help.

I would look at Windows Communication Foundation it is a service and messaging framework designed for exactly what you want to do.

a webservice would be a good solution.

look here for more information on creating a webservice: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/webservices/myservice.aspx

then you can import your webservice like a reference to a class and use it in your clientside c# programm.

I would look at a WCF service using a NetTcpBinding. Here is a good link:

I am a little unsure what your reference to a web page in the post title refers to.
