Programming Forums - View Single Post - Application that connects to a website/db (such as ebay toolbar)

Hey all,

I am designing a website using php and mysql. I want to design an application that runs minimised in the windows icon tray that will contact my website/database and provide information to the user about their account (such as the ebay toolbar does).

I am wondering, what would be the best language to develop this application in? Visual basic/java? anyone with suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Also, would anyone know if this task would be hard? Any tutorials out there?

Thanks.
