I am new to Xamarin and I recently have an assignment that I need to access to a remote database through Xamarin Portable. I have an Appharbor database, and I heard that WCF will do the job. Any guidance to achieve that?
*It also needs the ability to alter the content of database.
The question is what database you use MSSQL ? At most databases you need something between the database and the App like WCF.
But today mostly used are Web API's for that thing. You can learn more about it here http://www.asp.net/web-api
