How to create application wide var?

[Brett Romero]

I'd like to create an application wide variable in a winform app. I
can do this on my start up form by reading in some values from a config
file (since these values may change in the future) and assigning them
to a public var. From there, I'd always have to reference the start up
form. Is there a better way?

Thanks,
Brett

You can create a class with static fields that you can access.

Great! I actually created a DLL with a structure and reference them
from there, since it will be used across a few apps.

I do this through out my application. It is all winforms. I'd like to
put the code below into one place and reference it. It has to be an
instance as you can see. I want to abstract it somehow because the
enum references below could change and I don't want to go through the
app doing find/replace.

private ErrorHandling.L ogErrors ErrorHandler = new
ErrorHandling.L ogErrors(Config uration.ErrorLo gging.Tracker_E ventLogSource,
Configuration.E rrorLogging.Tra cker_EventLogNa me);
