Is there a way to convert a Text string into a command?

I'm currently using this:

 

//create a new client socket ...

                m_socWorker = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.IP);

                String szIPSelected  = txtIPAddress.Text;

                String szPort = txtPort.Text;

                int  alPort = System.Convert.ToInt16 (szPort,10);

            

                System.Net.IPAddress    remoteIPAddress  = System.Net.IPAddress.Parse(szIPSelected);

                System.Net.IPEndPoint   remoteEndPoint = new System.Net.IPEndPoint(remoteIPAddress, alPort);

                m_socWorker.Connect(remoteEndPoint);

                Object objData = txtData.Text;

                byte[] byData = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(objData.ToString ());

                m_socWorker.Send (byData);

 

and this to recieve

 

//end receive...

                int iRx  = 0 ;

                iRx = theSockId.thisSocket.EndReceive (asyn);

                char[] chars = new char[iRx +  1];

                System.Text.Decoder d = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetDecoder();

                int charLen = d.GetChars(theSockId.dataBuffer, 0, iRx, chars, 0);

                System.String szData = new System.String(chars);

                txtDataRx.Text = txtDataRx.Text + szData;

                WaitForData(m_socWorker );

I'd like to use this to send the server commands like Varify(uname, upass), but don't know how to convert it from a string to a function call...

Or, is there another way?

Does it have something to do with reading the first few bytes and seeing if they equal something, then converting the rest to an object? If so, how would I do It?

If I were to use MSSQL instead of MySQL would I still be able to access the Data from a PHP page? If I can, I can ignore the Client Server Issues for now and use the direct approach, IE call the Database from the Client Directly. Not that I know how to do that currently... MSSQL is different than MySQL...
