Store Global variables in a hashtable

[Jack Wright]

Dear All,
I am designing a WinForm Application and would like to keep track of
all the Global variables declared in my application. The logic for
this that I have in mind is to create a class that has a hashtable and
all application programs store their variables in a hashtable by
calling my class functions...Is this a good design for storing global
variables in a WinForm application? Or are there better ideas?

Please help

Many Regards
Sunil

You shouldn't need lot of global variables at all in your application. If
you are talking of some application wide settings / preferences, then I
think your approach is a good way of dealing with it.
