How to store information of logged in User in desktop application using c#

Question

We want to keep track of which User is logged in at the moment. Instead uf using for example: Environment.Username we want to know the Username from our database. We are able to get the Username from the database but we want to store it somewhere. Any solutions?

Answer 1

An example from the question linked below:

Settings.Default["SomeProperty"] = "Some Value";
Settings.Default.Save(); // Saves settings in application configuration file

They are several solutions:

如果您的应用程序由多个用户使用，则您可以将数据存储在CSV，XML等传统文件中。但是，使用这种技术可能无法获得数据安全性，因此可以使用二进制序列化。
