Question

Let’s say we want to keep user information after user logged in to application to share its data over multiple classes, what is the best way to do that.

Usually I keep things like this with a property in a static class :

public User CurrentUser { get; set; }

What’s your idea ?

Thanks in advance.

In WPF: Imagine you have a class called UserInfo that contains all the information needed about the current logged-in user:

// You can use your Application.Current.Resources dictionary to store the
// current logged-in user info.
Application.Current.Resources["UserInfo"] = userInfo;

Then you can retrieve the current user info object anywhere in your application with the following code:

var userInfo = Application.Current.Resources["UserInfo"] as UserInfo;
