Solution 1

1.There is no cookies for windows desktop application, and cookies are managed by the web browsers.

2.The similar solution in the case of windows application is to save the user credentials in the current user settings. For doing this by using application properties you must add in the application configuration two user settings for user name and password, then after login successfully to save the user inputs.

NOTE: In this way also other user preferences (regarding the current application) could be saved (like current folder, application settings, etc).

3.For details about user settings see next article: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa730869(v=vs.80).aspx[^]

You have to select the project project in Solution Explorer, then to select the "Properties" from context menu, and after that select the "Settings" from the left part of the new (project property) page. You have also these details in the MSDN link that I gave you in my 3rd point of my solution above!

I also followed the MSDN link.
But there is no any setting in project.
Can we do something in app.config file.

Thanks

You have to just select your project in Solution Explorer, right click on it ==> context menu, then select "Properties" menu item (should be the last one) ==> the project property window. Then select "Settings" (from the vertical tab control) and click on the middle ==> create your settings, like is also explained in the link. Then automatically the app.config will be created and updated.
