C# communicate with website.

[Markus]

Would you be able to point me in the direction of resources/tutorials I can use to get me started with communicating between a webpage and a C# app. The idea of the app will be to check a user given name and password against those stored in a MySQL database.

Thankyou.

Check out HttpWebRequest

Here's an idea for you.

Look into Web Services. In Visual Studio (Visual Web Developer if you are using the express editions) you can create a .asmx web service. This is a SOAP service that can be consumed, but you can also add a reference to it in your project and integrate with it directly. Look out for an article I will be working on describing how to set up a simple web service interface to your online database.
