Also, I got it working with the algorithm that kh posted. Thank you for the help

Well, the C# program you are writing is external to the forums, ideally you wouldn't give it direct access to your vbulletin database. If you use the API that the mobile apps use you will have a more secure way to authenticate a user against your forum's database.

If you intend to distribute the program to anyone if it has direct access to the database, it will present a massive security issue. (Somewhere the program will need your database credentials, allowing a malicious user to obtain them from it)
