Like a Global

[Max André Bündchen]

I'm reading the Pro C# 2005 and the .Net 2.0 Plataform by Andrew Troelsen
(in time, a nice book!) and a question is in my mind.

Supose that I have a WinForm application that has a login system. With the
login, I take from de DB many user informations that I would use in each
type (premisions for business class, screen options for forms...).

An approach in other OO-Languages is to make a global object "User" with
this informations.

What's the best approach in C# to accomplish this requiriments?

Thanks,

Max

Max,

The equivalent would be a static member on a type (preferably public, so
any other class can see it).

However, this isn't really that scalable, so you should be careful when
using it.

Hope this helps.

Yes, I had think about that, but in a little large application, I shoud have
problems with pay off.

Thaks for hope.

Assuming that you have a User class where you define all the user's
permission & details you can have a static property that return the logged
user:

class User
{
static User loggeruser;

public static LoggedUser { get{return loggeruser;} set{ loggeruser =
value;}}
}

you call it like:

User currentUser = User.LoggedUser;
