Is that a good idea to add a Hashtable to System.Windows. Forms.Applicati on
class? And we can put any user global data in it.
I have some class library used by a few other applications in slight
different way. This way (and ocz there are other ways) I don't have to user
different parameter to call a method or invent an other global data
repository.

What's wrong with just making a static class for your global data? Or a
static member of some more-relevant class? (Stored in a Hashtable, or
whatever other container you find appropriate, of course).
I mean, I suppose you could use extension to add something to the
Application class, but I'm not sure what the point would be. What's so
tempting about the Application class that you want to put your data there
rather than something more specific to your own code?

Actually, strike that. I overlooked that you can only add an extension
method as an instance method, and with no way to get an instance of the
Application class, you can't extend it even via extension methods.
So you're out of luck anyway. The Application class is sealed and there's
no way for you to add new data members to it anyway, rendering the
question moot.

Peter,
After the post, I find the System.Enviorme nt class is for this purpose. But
it's key and value is only string type. Now I do come out with my own static
class which use Hashtable internally.

Ryan

I realise you aren't using this, but for completeness, I suspect that
this is intended for environment variables
Now I do come out with my own static class which use Hashtable internally.
Nobody will stop you; but it doesn't seem very elegant; you will have
no assistance to help you know the expected keys or types for
settings. I'm not sure this is buying you much... personally I'd be
more inclined to have a usage-specific class with typed, named
properties (quite probably static).
A final thought; watch out for thread safety and object lifetime
(objects held globally won't be garbage collected, nor will anything
they can see [think "events"]).

as in what u see when u type "set" in a command prompt...
hmm...
this could get really complicated... a max len of env var at 255? no,
path can be longer now... but still... would not build hastables
there ;)
and yes, all strings, like WriteLine(Envir onment.CurrentD irectory);
will tell u where the os thinks u are...
//CY
and yes, all strings, like WriteLine(Envir onment.CurrentD irectory);
oh, forgot the point of that.. take 2 programs (same prog) start in
differrent dir and they will tell u different directorys.. I dont
think its shacer or common, initalized by system defaults but can be
set by process
//CY
Yes; my point being - I wouldn't go near this for internal application
data (which is what you are talking about).

Oh, I come out another enum for keys.

I try to write a generic class to set/get applicaton level variables. (this
class itself does not bind to the enum I mentioned above). By doing this, I
think I can avoid writing more and more classes or adding more and more
properties. And worse when some properties get oboslated.

Hello group! :)
I want to create a config/status object, that will contain a Hashtable. This
object I would like to save through Serialization, but im having some
trouble. My hashtable contain some objects, from a class I created myself.
I read that I need to make my own "add" method, which I hopefully did
correct. I hope someone can spot my wrongdoings, and point me in the right
direction. The code is in the bottom of this post:

If I am not sure how many items will be in my Hashtable/ArrayList

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
