I have a table call Controls which contains a list of controls which are in effect for  a particular client. I want to load the controls into an observable collection at the start of the app and then search the list during the running of the app to see if a particular control is set to Y or N. Where would be best place to store the collection so that it can be accessed by all view models?  In my app class?

Hi Bill,

 
Ideally, it'd be better if you created a service and passed it in the constructor of the view models.
You can find an example (the Bookshelf sample application) describing the above in our http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/BookShelf - DevForce Resource Center .
 
You could also, create a static class with the controls (although I recommend you try the first suggestion).
 
Silvio.
