Francis · Answer

In winforms how to use session management No. You can't use. Sessions are web application specific. In other words you can use it inside an ASP.Net Web application alone. Session variables are stored in server normally in IIS. To Priyaranjan: If you want use variables that needs throughout the application you can consider to use class variables instead of Static variables. Because static variables are shared among the users. In the sense if one user changes then other user also get the changed values. Only one copy of variable is available for all users. So avoid using shared variables also. Instead you can go with Class variables. :) Hope this helps!

Yup Francis . In a multi user environment Static Variables would be a bad idea as its a shared resource . Class Instances are a better option in such scenarios . Thanks Priyan

Hi Partha  Session Management is a Web Page Data Retention mechanism . We cannot use it in WinForms. However we can use Static Variables to accomplish the same . Please refer this link for better understanding . http://www.dotnetperls.com/global-variable If a local variable is declared with the Static keyword its lifetime is longer than the execution time of the procedure in which it is declared. If the procedure is inside a module the static variable survives as long as your application continues running. Thanks Priyan If you found this useful Please mark this as Answer
