Store and access multiple values in c#

I am searching an easy and elegant way to keep several string and access it the same easy way in winforms application.

I have 10 string variables which I am using in one form, every time I make some change, pressing a button or any other action I need to renew those values.

Here it is the code how I am filling those variables with data:

string cDir = clientsbox2.SelectedItem.ToString();
string ClientPath = PMFunc.XMLDir(settings) + cDir;
string ProjectPath = PMFunc.XMLDir(settings) + cDir + @"\"
                     + outlookGrid1.CurrentRow.Cells[0].Value.ToString();
string pathString = Path.Combine(ProjectPath);
string path3DString = Path.Combine(ProjectPath + @"\02-3D");
string pathDatosString = Path.Combine(ProjectPath + @"\01-Datos");
string pathImagenesString = Path.Combine(ProjectPath + @"\03-Imagenes");
string pathProcesso3D = Path.Combine(ProjectPath + @"\02-3D\Processo");
string pathTrafico3D = Path.Combine(ProjectPath + @"\02-3D\Trafico");
string maxfilename = path3DString + @"\" + clientsbox2.SelectedItem.ToString() 
                    + @"-" + PMFunc.ReturnWipNumber(cDir,
                    outlookGrid1.CurrentRow.Cells[0].Value.ToString().ToString(),
                    outlookGrid1.CurrentRow.Cells[2].ToString()) + @"-"
                    + outlookGrid1.CurrentRow.Cells[0].Value.ToString() + @"-"
                    + PMFunc.ReturnCopyNumber(cDir,
                    outlookGrid1.CurrentRow.Cells[0].Value.ToString().ToString(),
                    outlookGrid1.CurrentRow.Cells[2].ToString()) + @".max";

As you can see some of it is being generated by some objects from the Form, and some are being filled by methods from PMFunc class which I have in separate file.

So every time I need to fill these variables I am using this block of code, but I am sure there is a way to do that easier.

Can you advice me please?

Another option would be to make these variables into form properties with getters that read the component values.

public string cdir
{
    get
    {
       return clientsbox2.SelectedItem.ToString();
    }
}

... etc
