Working with WIX database

Hello,

I’m currently have a standalone application that works with MySQL DB. I need a website where users can order stuff. WIX looks very nice in that regard. So in perfect situation I want a website and my application working with same DB so if user purchase something on website application could catch it (through querying DB).

So my question is following - Is it possible to work with WIX DB site from a stand alone application (written in C#) to retrieve user information or I need additional external DB and make a sync between WIX DB and external one?

Thanks.

You would be best working with the Wix option of using the external dataset.

Please note that with the last link that Andreas is not connected with Wix anymore, so you can only read the post itself.
