I have tried a lot, but not able to find a perfect solution for same.

I am wokring on a WPF Desktop application,

Username, Database name ,server name and password.. those information user entered for successful access/login into the system. I want to store those information in some memory and reuse it after session/application end.

like in gmail.com, we don't need to enter our email id to access it. (It by default available, if we used earlier).

Most relevant solution - http://www.dotnetfunda.com/articles/show/955/using-isolatedstoragefile-to-store-data-in-wpf-application-class-event

I have tried to use list<string> to store data and access, but not able to do it.

Many thanks in advance. (this is my first time to ask any question online)

Write the data to the registry, or to a file or any other media you choose.

First of all, this is the utterly bad idea, to write anything to the registry...

In your opinion. I did say or anything else he chose.

Instead of writing login credentials somewhere, the site should return a token used to identify the user/session. The client can then store the token and send that to the website for authentication instead of credentials.

It's about a WPF (desktop) application...

Whoops, missed that.

I would suggest to create some SSO-style login based on the credentials of the currently logged-in user...Maybe salted with a secondary password...

Do you really need another password system? Why not use Windows account?

Most irrelevant solutions received. Please refer the link I shared and tell me how to fetch data from app.xaml.cs to window1.xaml.cs's controls.
