Accepted answer
When there is a data transfer between two physical computers (machines), it does not matter which computer is server and which computer is client, there are following ways to communicate between them and support data transfer mechanism.
1. TCP/IP simple protocol
2. DCOM (distributed COM)
3. .NET Remoting
4. Web Services
5. Shared Database
#1 and #2 are difficult to implement if you have not done coding in C# before.

#3 and #4 (.NET Remoting and a Web Service) are simpler approaches because there is high-level API classes in .NET for these items.

#5 Shared database is the easiest approach if you have control over server and software.

Now depending on your requirement, you can search this site.

thank you for ur guidance :) i guess my this reply will make u more clear about my project
this is the whole project , i am interested to do
1) Client End Program Coding in C# at will be placed in start up , collect all the required data of hardware.
2) Data Transfer through XML file or Buffer.
3) Server side application take data from XML File
4) Connectivity with the database
5) Data Comparison for any hardware change
6) Database updated

we have make the structure but having problem in connectivity of client to Server , we are new in Client Server application and client application will run as a Client PC restart .

Friend,

Here is Simple Idea

First Install SQL Server on Server then

you just have to do Programming for Client Software that will

use System.Data.SqlClient now ...

you dont need to code How to transfer data it will be done using that SqlClient name space just you have to enter

Server PC's IP ,user name and password into the connection string of client Parts programming other things like

connecting to pc , transfer data will be handled by System.Data.SqlClient namespace used in Client Part :)

you can write data in Server database and also can retrieve data from server database on Screen of Client Software :)

if my answer helps you please check "Do you like this answer" :)

and if still having some doubt then let me know :)

thank you :)

thanks for ur reply :)
sql server is installed in the Server , basic problem area is how to transfer a file , i mean we are having all data at Client End and now we have to send that to the server , should i putt the the data in XML file and then send or any other way , and little problem in Client Server how to connect them key factors while writing a code , because its maintaining the data of more than 1500 PCs.

any link or book that will help me to make this code !

hi it has many solutions but i think the best solution is that you have a database installed on your server (sql server or ...). you define a new connection in your application and then insert your data directly in your server databse.
