For a long time now, anytime I've needed 'public' properties (simple example, the first and last name of the user who has logged onto an app), I've had a class with static string variables. So when different forms/classes need to 'read' that value, it's always worked fine for me.

Someone recently pointed out that the use of structs was more efficient and would provide more capabilities.

Is it worth while to use structs instead?

Thanks,
Kevin
