I need a Global variable/class that stores some basic information about the currently logged in user including that user’s preferences, security rights, UserID, etc. This information will be needed by any/every part of my application.

In the past I have either used a Public variable/class in a vb.net module for this purpose. I’m trying to get away from my old ways of doing things and was curious what people currently do for this functionality.

I am thinking a singleton or 2 regarding preferences and security but am not sure if that is the best way to go.

EDIT: This is an n-Tier WinForms application.

    In my ASP .net web app, I store an object that contains login information for that user in the Session Cache. That is one way.
