What Is Singleton Pattern?
The Singleton Pattern ensures that a class has only one instance in the across application and the object instance coordinate to across the app.
This pattern is the simplest design patterns and used to restrict the creation of multiple objects instance.

Lest see the example for implementing the Singleton Pattern in C# in depth –

of Contents - Implementing the Singleton Pattern
in C#
1. Introduction
- What Is Singleton Pattern?
2. Non-thread-safe
version
3. Simple
thread safety via locking
4. Double-checked
locking
5. Safety
through initialization
6. Safe
and fully lazy static initialization
7. Lazy<T>
Lest see the example for implementing the Singleton Pattern in C# in depth –
//First version - not thread-safe
// Bad code! Do not use!
public
sealed class
Singleton
{
private static
Singleton instance=null;
private Singleton()
{ }
public static
Singleton Instance
{
get
{
if
(instance==null)
{
instance
= new Singleton();
}
return
instance;
}
}
}
Example 2 –
//Second version - simple
thread-safety
public
sealed class
Singleton
{
private static
Singleton instance
= null;
private static
readonly object
padlock = new
object();
Singleton() { }
public static
Singleton Instance
{
get
{
lock
(padlock)
{
if
(instance == null)
{
instance
= new Singleton();
}
return
instance;
}
}
}
}
Example 3-
//Third version - attempted
thread-safety using double-check locking
// Bad code! Do not use!
public
sealed class
Singleton
{
private static
Singleton instance
= null;
private static
readonly object
padlock = new
object();
Singleton() { }
public static
Singleton Instance
{
get
{
if
(instance == null)
{
lock
(padlock)
{
if
(instance == null)
{
instance
= new Singleton();
}
}
}
return
instance;
}
}
}
Example 4 –
//Fourth version - not quite as lazy,
but thread-safe without using locks
public
sealed class
Singleton
{
private static
readonly Singleton
instance = new
Singleton();
// Explicit static constructor to tell C# compiler
// not to mark type as beforefieldinit
static Singleton()
{ }
private Singleton()
{ }
public static
Singleton Instance
{
get
{
return
instance;
}
}
}
Example 5-
//Fifth version - fully lazy
instantiation
public
sealed class
Singleton
{
private Singleton() { }
public static
Singleton Instance
{ get { return
Nested.instance;
} }
private class
Nested
{
// Explicit static
constructor to tell C# compiler
// not to mark type
as beforefieldinit
static
Nested()
{
}
internal
static readonly
Singleton instance
= new Singleton();
}
}
Example 6 –
If you are using .NET 4 (or higher), you should
use the System.Lazy<T> type to
make the laziness really simple -
//Sixth version - using .NET 4's
Lazy<T> type
public
sealed class
Singleton
{
private static
readonly Lazy<Singleton>
lazy =
new
Lazy<Singleton>(()
=> new
Singleton());
public static
Singleton Instance
{ get { return
lazy.Value;
} }
private Singleton()
{ }
}
