Sanjay,

I am not a big fan of Dictionaries for these kinds of things, but if you need "named slots" for a previously unknown list of settings, the approach you describe is perfectly okay, IMO. This approach can also be extended into a database or any other kind of storage and also stands the test of web apps, in so far as you can distribute things between an application centric (global) and user-centric (session) objects.

Hi

What is the usual practices in storing values of variables / parameters the
persist through an users usage of an application.

e.g. say the user logs in and then selects a current printer, current
company, accounting year and then moves between various application options
and eventually logs out. What is a good practice of storing the values

... one way could be to keep a separate application level object with a
dictionary for all the variables ... would that be ok or there are other
better ways

regards
Sanjay
