Hello,

I am working on an iPhone app and need some guidance. I need to create an app that gets data from a PC. I am thinking of an app that runs a client on the PC and then gets and displays the data that is received from that PC.

I really don't want to have to use HTML,

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thank you,

Danny

Your best bet may be to learn about web services and to use WCF or SOAP calls to one to retrieve the data. If you can hit your PC from the web, then you can run a web service application so it's a win-win situation for you.
This and this may be a place to get started.

That's sort of the direction I was looking at. This won't be a front facing app so it doesn't need web access. All local network.

Thanks for the answer though.

Whether internal or external, you may find that web services are one of the easiest ways to transmit data safely and effectively. Cheers.
