Software and hardware integration

Good day friends! I don't know the right words to use cos I have no idea of the name this could be called. Am trying to write a program in .Net language (VB or C# to be specific) that can I use to control a small car i.e when I click on start, the car should move so on and so forth. I know this is a broad question so what I want is to know the right keywords to use when searching on google, relevant links and videos if possible. In a short form, I want to build my own hardware device then control it from my own designed application. Thanks!

Remote Controlmay be what you are looking for possiblywireless remote control. I would look at the hardware you are going to use first and worry about the control mechanism after you have decided what hardware you are going to use.Never underestimate the power of human stupidity - RAH I'm old. I know stuff - JSOP

To be precise, I bought the electronics components and run the connection myself and is working fine when I switched it on. But I want to control this device via programming either in VB.net or c#. Thanks for your reply!

... and how is your Hardware connected to your system (PC) ? Serial-Port, EtherNet, USB, something complete different ?

Thanks. This exactly what I want to. How can I connect the hardware to the PC for instance if am using USB port i.e how would I make the system know that the device is been plugged?

Let's start from the beginning ... Your answers and information aren't useful - what do your have exactly at the moment ? Please note : as better your description is and the information YOU give to us ... as better the answer could be ...

You need to buy or obtain a RF controller than can connect to your PC. This RF controller needs to be able to send commands from the PC, and translate the computer commands to a Radio signal that is broadcasted to the car. The cars radio will receive the command and turn a streering servo motor, or accelerate, brake. Basically, this RF controller instead of using knobs and sliders, would use PC commands.
