Our CMS sets a cookie when you login. Various applications within the CMS
check the cookie to establish the user's name, permissions, etc.
The class below is what is references whenever we need to grab the user
data. For instance, when the user saves a database record, we attach their
username to the record by requesting SecureUsers.su_strUser
The problem (as you can probably guess) is that if two people trigger a
thread at the same time, one user's data can be 'grabbed' by the other's
process.
I'm assume this is because these variables are all 'shared', as 'shared' is
at the class level rather than instance level, correct? If so, are Public
Properties the solution? Or should I be calling a public function within
this class that returns the values (creating an instance of the class
first)? Or...?
