A True Global Class?

[redfish34]

In VB6 i could instantiate a class in a module as public and this would become global to the entire application. This was useful for a settings class where the settings were loaded from a file when the app started, then classes would share these settings and modify them, then the settings file would updated when the app closed. Is there a way to do similar in C#? Where do i need to put the settings class so that it is global to all other classes in a namespace?

I use a class to hold all my "global" settings which i load on application startup. These values are accessable from anywhere in the app. Heres how you do it: 1) Create a class which is public 2) Add public static variables where you will store your settings. public class Globals { public static bool bBoolvalue; public static string sStringValue; public Globals() { } } 3) Then when you app starts up - just assign values to these variables eg: Globals.sStringValue = "This is a string"; 4) This variable will now contain the assigned value and because it is public static you will be able to reference it from anywhere in your app eg: string sTest = Globals.sStringValue; Hope this helps, Cheers Craig ** I'd rather try and fail than fail to try **

Craig, Thanks for the advice. Coming from VB6, i did not use static all that much. I took your static idea one step further and used it with properties and methods so i could duplicate what i did in VB6. It works!
