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.
