No.
Why would you need some method of preserving data across a session on a permanently hosted application?

The Session is there to preserve information specific to a client, without having to save the page and all it's context. It's needed because once the page HTML has been sent to the browser, the application can be closed, and the Session preserves information which may be needed on a post back. That isn't the case with a WPF app - it and it's full context remains "live" until the application is closed - and it doesn't have post backs!

Solution 1

Sessions in Web applications store the client side state (lots of clients), in a WPF application you only have 1 client.

Yes, you can create a "session" object to store data in [a database is the same thing].

Depending on what you want to do it may be a singleton.

A session is not equivalent to database in any way. If you store something in database, it remains there until you remove it... Where as in session things are removed if you close the app. You can say, cookies are equivalent to database.

Sessions can be persisted, databases can be in memory.

No, sessions are in memory (they are removed when the app starts again or when user visits the web page again) and database is stored in file system. They are written on the hard drive. There is a lot of difference in them. As I said, you can say cookies are similar to database. They are both stored physically.
