Obviously my client could open the ports to the SQL server to make this accessible from the web, but this is a huge security issue and obviously not one I want to even recommend. Is there a way that I can make my desktop application securely communicate over the web to the SQL database?

The explorer bar does show up.

how to POST to a php file form a vb.net app: http:[url].... So now I've logged in the user user by posting their username and password to the php file, the php file then does security/checks they exist/etc and if both username and password are correct is stores the user ID in a session variable.Now if the vb.net app tries to download data off a page which needs the user to logged in, it checks this by doing:
if (!isset($_SESSION['uid'])) {
header("Location: index.php");
}
However after having logged correctly in the app the session variable is not set.How does session work with a vb.net app like this?When the user logs in successfully should I download the user id and keep it in the vb.net app and then post it to each page that requires authentication?
I'm making "Sticky Notes" and I want to be able to pin those stickies to the desktop. Sorta like a BottomMost function. Is there something like that I can use and if not, how would I even go about making a function that would keep my form on the desktop?
'Pins the program to the desktop
If saved = False Then
saved = True : PinToDesktopToolStripMenuItem.Checked = True : lblClose.Visible = False : Me.ShowInTaskbar = False
Else
saved = False : PinToDesktopToolStripMenuItem.Checked = False : lblClose.Visible = True : Me.ShowInTaskbar = True
End If
The reason I'm not going to mark it resolved is because if I click pin to desktop and the desktop isn't the application directly under my application then I have to minimize every program to get it to stay on the desktop.
