Possible to make a global Var. C#

Question

Is it possbile to make a variable global in C#?

Answer 1

Well, you can make a public static variable:

public static class Globals
{
    public static string Foo;
}

However, I'd strongly urge you not to do this:

• It becomes unclear what's using the variable
• There's no sort of thread safety
• It makes testing a pain (in particular if you want to parallelize tests)

I'd urge you to try very hard to design away from globals. If you could tell us more about why you think you want a global variable, we may be able to give you some advice on how to avoid it in this particular case :)
