Storing variables throughout a "session"

Question

I'm in startup phase of creating a Yatzee game in .NET using Windows Forms and C#. I apologize for moron-like questions here but I'm a web programmer.... From what I understand there is no such thing as a global variables (as in Visual Basic 6.....bas files) in .NET. Am I right? Ok if this is the case how would I have to approach the situation in my game where I have to store players scores throughout a game? I suppose I can use the labels in my form but this just seems like a pain in the butt because then I have to go through all labels whenever I need to calculate total scores etc. It would be nice to have an array of objects (Player objects) where I store a player's data (name score how many choices left and so on). Can anyone give me a pointer? Thanks so much!

The way i found to have global variable that I can access across multiple forms was to create a class with all of my variables and made each variable public static. then reference the class from any form using System; namespace My_Program { /// /// Summary description for globals. /// public class globals { public globals() { } public static string username; } } Then from any form just access the username like so: My_Program.globals.username = this is the username; -or- Using My_Program; MessageBox.Show(globals.username); HTH Duddits
