A better and simpler way is to perform all the db operations in server side code (like php) and the information can be passed to the php file using a query string and the reverse by echo statement.

var webclient = new WebClient();
webclient.OpenReadAsync(new Uri("http://website.com/filename.php?name=" + myname.Text );
webclient.OpenReadCompleted += new OpenReadCompletedEventHandler(handler);

private void opener(object sender, OpenReadCompletedEventArgs e)
{
    //  throw new NotImplementedException();
    using (var reader = new StreamReader(e.Result))
    {
            string response = reader.ReadLine();

            MessageBox.Show(response);
    }
}
