Dictionary between forums?

May 31 2010 6:02 PM
I have two forums,Login and Game.
Login is used for logging in and it calls a dictionary from class "Clsdictionary"
So I use this on Form Login.
 clsDictionary UserSetCLS = new clsDictionary();
Then I add some Values and Keys to that Dictionary in the class,I'm using a class so this dictionary can be global/Shared between all my forms in that application.

ClsDictionary.cs code
       public Dictionary<string, string> UserSetSTRING = new Dictionary<string, string>();
public Dictionary<string, int> UserSetINT = new Dictionary<string, int>();
Then in form login i add some keys and values
                    UserSetCLS.UserSetINT.Add("UserID", _UserID);
UserSetCLS.UserSetSTRING.Add("UserName", UserName);
UserSetCLS.UserSetSTRING.Add("CapitalName", CapitalName);
Now I have 3 entries.
1 for UserSetINT
2 for UserSetSTRING

At the end of all my code it switchs to form game.
I try to call back the entries that SHOULD be in the Dictionary
 using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace Game
{
public partial class frmCapitalCity : Form
{
clsDictionary UserSetCLS = new clsDictionary();
string CapitalName;
public frmCapitalCity()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void CapitalCity_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
UserSetCLS.UserSetSTRING.TryGetValue("CapitalName", out CapitalName);
}
}
}

So that should take the dictionary entry "CapitalCity" and change the label I have to the string value of that.
But,When i call it back its Null. I'm wondering how could that be? I put it all in another Class so it can be used in every form in my application.

Basicly All i want to do is Get one Value from one forum to another.
On Login the Dictionary count is 3 with those three values and there keys.
When i call it back on Game the count is zero with no Entries!

Can anyone correct me in what i did? 
Or
Point me to a tutorial that goes over this Specific detail of what i want to do?

If you need me to clear anything up please post!
Thanks,
