How can I receive events from a Xamarin App into my ASP.NET web app?

I am developing a project using .NET that connects to a SQL database with Microsoft Azure. I have two .NET projects, one is a mobile app using Xamarin, and the other is a normal C# application called DesktopProgram.
DesktopProgram is too big to run well on a phone. Therefore, I need to leave the UI on the mobile app, and the DesktopProgram in the cloud. Both projects will have to communicate with each other, and DesktopProgram has to communicate with the SQL Database.
If I make my DesktopProgram an ASP.NET project with all the C# logic, will it be able to send and receive events from the mobile app?
Is there a better way to do this? I need a way to execute the C# code, and get input and send output to the mobile app and SQL database. That means that no UI is needed for the web application.
Thanks in advance!

developing UWP Remote dekstop viewer

I wants to develop a UWP remote desktop viewer application. I had already gone through many tutorials but those are all of winform application and I can't port them into uwp. So that desktop can be viewed from windows 10 mobile. I have zero knowledge regarding this so anyone can help me from where should I start and also if someone having UWP remote desktop code so that I can understand its working easily.
I am afraid you cannot develop such application easily in the Universal Windows Platform. Microsoft has its own Remote Desktop app, but it is definitely using some APIs which are not publicly available for the connection to remote computer.
To develop such app you would need to capture / record the screen on desktop as well as capture all input and relay the input from the remote device to the source.
You could create the desktop side of the app using Windows Forms / WPF and connect to it remotely from a phone, which would just act as a display and would capture and send the user input to the desktop counterpart.
There is also a small chance you could implement the desktop app in UWP with the help of Brokered Windows Runtime components, but that would be very tedious work.
Once again however, developing this is a major task, which is more suitable for a team of developers.

Send and receive info between windows and android through wireless network

I have a c# win app that works with SQL. I want to develop an Android app that sends a query to win app and query result return to Android app. I didn't develop any android app.
1.Is there any way that I connect to my SQL database directly?
2.How send info from android app to PC?
3.How detect android device from win app?
You need to create Web Services and call them from your android app. Please have a look at this link which will give you information on calling webservices in android How to call a RESTful web service from Android?
1.Is there any way that I connect to my SQL database directly?
no there is no way to access SqlServer ... directly , you have to make a webservice to communicate with sql server.
2.How send info from android app to PC?
with that WebService and a url you can call http Post/Get in your Android App and consume the related WebService and send your data to the server and get proper data from server. for implenting such behavior here(StackOverFlow) is huge number of links that you can search for it.
3.How detect android device from win app?
if i get it right you can add google usb driver which is inside Android SDK , then Eclipse/Netbeans or other IDE's can detect your android device.

Developing Android Web App Vs Native App

I am new to mobile development and I have read through the Native app Vs Mobile app pro's and con's but I would like some advice on which path I should take in building my mobile application.
Basically the back end is written in .NET and the desktop application is in C# (I am building a mobile version for the desktop application). The application itself will require an internet connection and not much else (think of google search/facebook). With this in mind, should I be writing the application as a Mobile web application in C# or build a native app for android?
Thanks.
Native Android Apps are typically written in Java. Monodroid lets you write them in C#, but I'm not sure the state of the project.
HTML5/JS apps are written using HTML5/JS/CSS and typically involve a toolkit like Phonegap.
Since you are aware of the pro's and con's, I think it's best to choose a platform where you can best utilize your skillset. Is that HTML5/JS or Java (or using C# via Monodroid).

Metro App development and Remote Database Connections

I have a web matrix-based site I originally created, and then continued development in Visual Studio Ultimate. Now that the website is complete, I am making a Metro app for Windows 8 release preview.
I need the Metro app to connect to a remote SQL database - but connecting to remote (or any kind of,) databases in Metro apps seems to be impossible. Is there any way to connect to a remote database from within a Metro app, without the use of Services or Azure?
Is there any way to connect to a remote database within a Metro app, without the use of Services or Azure?
I'm going to assume by 'services' you mean web services. In that case, there isn't really an alternative. You'll have to use WCF or otherwise create some kind of web service to access the database. WinRT is in the same situation as Silverlight in this regard.
