How to access DataSet from a remote machine

[rizwan6feb]

There are two versions of my application. First runs on a local server and the second version runs on a client machine.

The application on the local server performs that following tasks

1. Pulls data from an online Mysql database and stores it in a DataSet
2. Makes changes in the DataSet and updates it back in the online database

I need to access the data (i.e the DataSet) on the client machine, so that the client can also Add, Edit and Delete records. Is there any way i can achieve this?

When the client machine needs to perform the update, have it call a server function which accepts the DataSet as parameter....I'm assuming your sever application is a Web Service or WCF application.

From where the client machine will get that DataSet ?

You would have to make the application into a WCF service or webservice, or implement some kind of client-server protocol to pass objects between different programs.

You will get the DataSet from wherever you stored it.
Have you implemented a web service?
