Hey,

I have used VB.NET and MySQL together before for my own personally use with my own site but i am planning on making a program for a friend which everyone on the internet could download.

My question is if i am connecting to a database with his passwords and getting information and someone used a packet sniffer or something like that, is it then possible for them to get the password? (if not thats good lol).

Also when using VB.NET and MySQL do you have to remove slashes and things such as that to stop users getting information they shouldnt/deleting the database like you would do in a PHP script? and is there any other things i should do to protect the database and program?

Thanks,
Lee.
