Hi Bytes Community,
I would like to implement a secure form on my website. We need a place for our distributors to be able to fill out an application. I want it to work just like a contact form, but I want the boxes to be the application information instead.
I have made forms for websites before. Visitors were able to visit the site, fill out the form, and click "submit" which would then send all of the information they filled out to my email address.
The issue here is not implementing a form, but implementing a secure one. The data that they will be required to type in and submit is very sensitive information (including some financial stuff). I understand some web languages, but I am not savvy on web security. Is there some third party software I can use (preferably free)? Is there some practice I can implement? I just feel like it's probably easy for someone to skim information from a basic form.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Tim

Set up an https. That will encrypt all traffic between you and the client.
SSL data encryption is the best option. You can set up your https and use classic SSL. This may cost you a bit, if you may find it too expensive it's possible to create your custom SSL.
If you're looking for a third party form building application with data encryption features, I may recommend 123ContactForm. They provide SSL encryption, though I think it's on the paid plans. However, some payments are involved anyhow, as I have said above.
Hope it helps!

I'm working on a client/server application.The client is a window Form and the server is a Console Application.
But now I also need a form in the server application,which I added. but if I call the form from
the main function it only shows a white form. If I call it from the receive function af the server the same happens.
Where do I have to call it from so it can work properly?

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
