As I understand you are confuse with session on web. There is nothing like session in Desktop Application.
Here you can use OOP fundamental by making entiry(class) of user profile and pass reference to every form where you need it
I know this is not enough but I need more proper description.
Thanks

It depends on what kind of app you are producing: multi-machione, or single.
For multiple machines, the obvious solution is to use a small database, if you can install either MSSQL express or MySql on the relevant machines. If not, then consider an XML file via datasets, but be aware that you will have to cope with multi-user problems yourself, if you are using a central repository for several machines.
If it is just multiple persons login in on a single machine, and no networked connection is expected, then I would suggest the App.Config file, or in desperation the Registry.

A couple of days ago I asked here how to ensure that a generic list isn't modified while an operation like Find() or Exist() is performed on the list. I was recommended to use the lock-statement.
Now I would like to know if it's enough to lock the list while adding or removing items from it? Or do I need to lock it while performing a non-changing operation like Find() on the list as well?
Thanks for help!

Hi,
you have to use the lock-statement while adding and removing and also for non-changing operations.
The lock-statement is like a monitor (imagine a gatekeeper) that allows execution of a critical code block. So to be sure if you have several critical blocks that only one block is executed at one time you have to use the same gatekeeper for all blocks.
Example:
<br />
private Object thisLock = new Object();<br />
<br />
public void AddItem(object item) {<br />
lock(thisLock) {<br />
}<br />
}<br />
<br />
public object FindItem(object criteria) {<br />
lock(thisLock) {<br />
}<br />
}<br />
Be pay attention that all access to the list is within a lock-statement using the same object (gatekeeper).
Hope this helps a bit.
Regards
Sebastian

Thanks for the reply!
You're right. I did a test and tried it out. But is there some way around this? So while a non-changing operation is performed on the list other non-changing operations can get access to the list as well? So that only modifications to the list can be stopped while theese non-changing operations is happening to the list?
The reason is I'm creating a WCF service and each client contacts the service on a different thread. Each time a clients calls a method on the service the list is searched. This means if several hundreds of clients are connected every thread is locking the list and it takes some time to search there will be a real performance decrease.
A solution I guess is to wrap all non-changing operations in try-catch blocks and skip the lock but that seems like a real hack!
EDIT: It's a static list we're talking about in this case.
Thanks again!

Yup, this solution is a real hack. But the problem you refer to is the reader/writer problem. And guess what, the framework contains a solution for this called the ReaderWriterLock:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.threading.readerwriterlock.aspx[^]
Didn't used it myself but it seems easy to utilize.
It doesn't matter if it is a static list as long as you are using static methods to access the list (using a static monitor).
EDIT: I have to correct myself: You don't need static methods. All you have to do is using a static monitor (gatekeeper).

Sebastian

I found it just before I saw your answer It seems there are two solutions: ReaderWriterLock and ReaderWriterLockSlim.
It seems to exactly what I need!
Thanks for your help!

How big/long is the mp3 file?
If it isn't too big, I'd suggest converting it to a wave file, then using the SoundPlayer class[^] to play it.
Note that the filesize will increase when converting from mp3 to wav.
If you insist on keeping the file as an mp3, have a look at this article:

Hi,
I am trying to pass value from one windows form to another in desktop application using C#.
I have created two text boxes on Form1 and a button, on button click I am creating Form2 and From2 contains one button, on this button click I have to pass value from Form2 to Form1 textboxes.
I have created Properties in Form1.
public string Emp
{
get
{
return strEmp;
}
set
{
strEmp = value;
}
}
public string EmpID
{
get
{
return strEmpID;
}
set
{
strEmpID = value;
}
}
And on Form1 button click:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form2 fr = new Form2();
this.textBox1.Text = strEmp ;
this.textBox2.Text = strEmpID ;
fr.ShowDialog();
}
On Form2:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Form1 fr = new Form1();
fr. Emp = "Alex";
fr. EmpID = "1121";
this.Close();
}
This code is not working, Please let me know where I am wrong.
Thanks,

First there is a compilation error at the 2 statements in which you are assigning variables to the textbox as name of the variables differ.
Second, you are setting the values in the text box of first form after calling the showdialog. So, the values can e displayed only after you close the dialog box.
Third, You are creating a new instance of form1 on the click of button on form2. It won't set the values on the initial form.
