I have developed a desktop application that connects to a MS SQL server over a network. One of my clients wants a third party company to be able to use my desktop application but connect to the MS SQL database in my client�s office. 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?

Some of u already know I'm making a 'virtual desktop'- thing.Only one problem. When switching to a new desktop it starts a new instance of my app in that desktop (works) and on the form load event it says process.start("explorer.exe") <- here is the problem. It only shows a window not the actually bar.Also this may be important it shows the window, but when I navigate to explorer.exe 'C:Windowsexplorer.exe' and open it there. The explorer bar does show up.

how to make a multi language desktop application in vb.net 2005. only a small desktop application in which i can change language according to countries.
This is a big idea and I'm unsure of how easy or difficult this really is. I do not know how I would get this even started. What I am trying to accomplish is "docking" so to speak, a sub form into the original. Basically, there are 2 forms open, but one is like a helper so to speak. This concept is not new as many programs use it. An example is a program widely used call Teamviewer. If you use Teamviewer, open the "Partner List" Pane at the bottom to see exactly what I am talking about. Basically, it opens a new form that is next to it.
