session handling In outlook

[Neetu]

what are the different ways to store session variables available in outlook?
Is session variable handling is same as in asp.net?
can we kep key and value pair of session variable in outlook?

What session variables do you mean?
Global variables? Unlike ASP (which is stateless), you can store any values
in global variables in your code.

Hello Dmitry,

I need to store variable of any type, like user define class or .net built
type.

What exactly do you mean by a "session variable"? There is no such thing as
"session" in a COM add-in.

If you only that custom data to persist for the duration of your app,
nothing prevents you from having a wrapper class that stores both the
MAPIFolder object and your csutom data or a list/dictionary that you can
index based on the folder entry id (MAPIFolder.EntryID).
If you need to persist the per-folder data, use MAPIFolder.GetStorage
(Outlook 2007)
