Mimic Session object (of ASP.NET) in Winform app

Hello all...

I need to have global data available within the lifetime of my Winform
app, accessible from any objects this application might spring at
runtime.

In ASP.NET, I can just create this holder object, put this object in
(System.Web.Ses sionState.HttpS essionState)Ses sion object, and whenever
I need to access the global data from virtually any object having
access to the Session object, I just call

((HolderObjectT ype)Session["TheHolderObjec t"]).TheData

In Winform, I was hoping that I can rely on
System.Windows. Forms.Applicati on object and put something in it.
Apparently the System.Windows. Forms.Applicati on can't store data like
the System.Web.Sess ionState.HttpSe ssionState object.

Is there something obvious that I miss? If not, what is your
recommendation to achieve what I want?

Thanks in advance,

What's wrong with creating an internal or public class with static
properties?

Once initialized, these can be simply accessed from any object in your
AppDomain by using the classname followed by the static property name.

Hi Please review and let me know if I am correct: 1) My understanding from reading http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnpag/html/ diforwc-ch05.asp is that asp.net uses cookies to store the user session id, but if cookies are not enabled then it will send the session id as part of the url. Is this correct?

Hello All, I want to display all the name-value pairs of the session object....how can I print them out? i.e., suppose once a user logs in I set a session variable login time Session = "2pm" and Session="10pm". So how can I print these variables i.e., logintime and logouttime and their values together? In which namespace is the Session object...can I retrieve the name-value pairs as collection?

I'm new to this ASP.NET caper and have the following questions. I have a TestObject that contains about 50 fields of data and 3 member procedures. Below is a simplified explanation of what I do. At the start of each session I initialise this TestObject. On entering every page I create a local TestObject and do this: TestObject = Session("TestObject")

Simple question, I think... I'm storing an object in the Session object. In the code behind I read that object: trx = CType(Session("Transaction"), BOCSTransaction) If I change any properties, I have to store it back into the session object to "update" it, right? Or will the changes to my object automatically be saved back into the session object? Thanks, Jerry

Hi, In my current project, I need to embed an .NET winform usercontrol in the aspx page (via <Objecttag). This winform usercontrol has an event called DoEvent (void DoEvent()). This winform usercontrol will fire this event upon certain action by the user. I tried to let the aspx page subscribe to this event via <script for="winObj1" event="DoEvent()" language="javascript"> window.alert("window control event happen!");

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
