Solution 1

Well one way to do it is via REST, Representational State Transfer.
This approach is platform independent and built upon the HTTP protocol.
Learn REST: A Tutorial[^]

You implement one service on the server side, and then you adapt your clients to the protocol.
You can easily find examples for how to implement the client side for different environments.

This is one way out of many to solve your problem.

Solution 2

The simplest solution is to host a webservice/wcf application for all the database oporations and consume it with all other applications.

Reference:
Your first C# Web Service[^]
A Beginner's Tutorial for Understanding Windows Communication Foundation (WCF)[^]

Hope, it helps :)

If you want to use your application in 3 devices like Mobile App, Desktop, Laptop..

As of my knowledge there is only one option i.e. using services.

It's send data in 2 ways;
1) XML format
2) JSON format

out of the above 2, JSON format is the best option.

In our software environment we can call services in different ways.

1) WebService
2) WCF Services
3) Web API Services

Before implement your requirement, first you need to gather requirements then analyse by your self and discuss with your project lead and come to know one conclusion which way you are going to work.

You can follow following approach to solve your problem:
1. Create a WCF service to perform CURD operation on your database.
2. Design a web application with any of the technology and consume the WCF service for data manipulation.
3. Create a Mobile App or simple web app with AngularJS and consume the same WCF service.
