title: Connecting a Windows Application to online database[Vb.Net]
body: <p>Question 1 :</p>
  
  <p>Hi, I'm new to "VB.Net" and programming. Me and my friend is developing a Windows Application in VB.NET and we wanted to connect to a online MySql database. We already did it in the same pc[localhost]. But we wanted to know wether is it possible to connect a online MySql database to Vb.net Windows Application (not a web application)?</p>
  
  <p>Question 2:</p>
  
  <p>What is the name used to call Windows Applications that are connected to a online server? </p>
  
  <p>Some examples I know are Steam application and Facebook Messenger.
  [Where you can download the application, install and log in to the server.]</p>
