Application scope data

[Superfly1611]

Hello all,

 

I'm predominantly a web developer and have next to no windows forms programming - and certainly none since VB6.

When writing a windows form program in .Net how do I declare variables that can be accessed from any form in my application?

In VB6 I would tend use modules to declare public data and new data types.

 

If it makes any difference what I want to store is a database connection string and I do not want to store it in the registry.

 

Thanks

If you just wish to store configuration information then you may want to investigate dynamic properties or just use the configurationSettings Class directly in your code.

Also, check out this quick read about encryptiing your connection strings in your .config file. Better safe than sorry!!
