With Respect . . .

That is the most loosely defined question I have seen in a long time. If you
seriously expect help you are going to have to be far more verbose and
detailed in your question.

Sometimes one have to widen (?) ones questions to GET some answers ;-\

If you get too narrow you GET NO answers.

I must admit I have been 'narrow' here.

My application registers events from intruding my home.
I think I file these event i a database and I want to look
through the events from the internet AND .... ;-)

HOw can I do that ?
Some samplecode please ?

Probably the simplest way to do this is to dump these events to an XML file.
and you can retreive these via the web.

However, if you want to get clever, you could write a web service using
SOAP. Search the remote database and return the data that way.

PS. Is this a burgler alarm or something ?

Yes it's a burgler alarm I have i mind !

XML ?
I imagine that a video sequens is a part of the 'event'.

Is it the SOAP that I have to get into to get this done with a VB.NET
application ?

Hi KS,

The idea of OHM is real nice, however you do have not direct affect with
soap when you use VS.net, just open a webservice application. This is a very
good sample how to do it and than suddenly it shows up very ease.

However keep in mind that a webservice is a service to the internet, so your
next action can be to ask in the newsgroup
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.security how to make a webservice that
secure that only you can use it.

1) Lookup .NET Remoting.
2) Make your management class inherit from MarshalByRefObject
3) Lookup the following functions to place in your startup "Main;"
ChannelServices.RegisterChannel,
RemothingConfiguration.RegisterWellKnownServiceType.
4) Write your client app.

If you're running IIS on the machine, then it;s even easier.
1) Simply create an ASP.NET page that you can access from the web.
