Greetings everyone!

I am needing to develop a system where I shall be able to note, calculate and save the monthly consumption/usage and bills of utility meters.

The system must have two versions :

1. Easy to understand web GUI
2. Accessibility from IPhone ( Planning to make an individual IPhone application so that user can work offline and can latter synchronize the noted data with site when IPhone goes online )

The point is, I am best with .NET programming but I am not sure, if I can access the MS Server DB via IPhone for synchronize.

Is that possible? Can I synchronize or work with MS DB and IPhone together?
If this is not possible using MS tools, can you please suggest me the best technologies I can use?

Your help is greatly appreciated in advance.

Thanks for your reply.

Thanks for the solution.

It sounds very interesting! I find this article to be amazing to achieve what I am planning for. This elaborates to me that I can think of achieving objective 1 using .NET technology.

I appreciate your solution.
