One of the simplest ways to create a global connection is to create a
class with a static connection, and initialize it when your application
starts:
public class Data
{
public static SqlConnection Connection;
}
Somewhere in startup, you'd have Data.Connection = new
SqlConnection(" ...");
Then you could access it from wherever you need in your project. Using
a connection in this method has some caveats: you need to be careful to open
the connection and close it in an atomic fashion. You don't want two
seperate classes trying to use the connection at the same time, unless you
are very careful to always check the state, but that can quickly become too
complicated. So, if you are going to use a global connection, just be
careful about how you design around it!

I opened a connection to the database in the login form.
Now in another form I tried to insert values to a table.
But the connection is not available in the form.
How can I make the connection global to all forms?
Where I can declare global variables?( Like in VB standard module)
Thanks
