Question

how do i store the user login detail for window login? i used to have that stored in session for web, but for window login?

Answer 1

Hi,

You can store it in a static variable and access it from anywhere in windows applications.

ex

public class ApplicationVariables
{
public static string UserName="";
}

You can access it by ApplicationVariables.UserName="Foo"; or string s=ApplicationVariables.UserName;

Answer 2

but storing that in static class will not able to handle the multiuser login . waht if my system supports multiple user login?

Answer 3

Tamer Oz is dead on for a normal windows application.

If it is a client-server windows application where you store the login information on the server you can do the following: Hashtable using the user's id as the key and the user profile object in the value.

Answer 4

Each instance of an Windows application will run in a different application domain, so your static variables are specific to the instance of running program in windows applications.

Just make a sample application and assign a value to a  static variable and try to access it from other, you'll see.
