c# method declare for singleton code example
Example: c# singleton
using System;
namespace Singleton
{
// The Singleton class defines the `GetInstance` method that serves as an
// alternative to constructor and lets clients access the same instance of
// this class over and over.
class Singleton
{
// The Singleton's constructor should always be private to prevent
// direct construction calls with the `new` operator.
private Singleton() { }
// The Singleton's instance is stored in a static field. There there are
// multiple ways to initialize this field, all of them have various pros
// and cons. In this example we'll show the simplest of these ways,
// which, however, doesn't work really well in multithreaded program.
private static Singleton _instance;
// This is the static method that controls the access to the singleton
// instance. On the first run, it creates a singleton object and places
// it into the static field. On subsequent runs, it returns the client
// existing object stored in the static field.
public static Singleton GetInstance()
{
if (_instance == null)
{
_instance = new Singleton();
}
return _instance;
}
// Finally, any singleton should define some business logic, which can
// be executed on its instance.
public static void someBusinessLogic()
{
// ...
}
}

class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// The client code.
Singleton s1 = Singleton.GetInstance();
Singleton s2 = Singleton.GetInstance();
if (s1 == s2)
{
Console.WriteLine("Singleton works, both variables contain the same instance.");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine("Singleton failed, variables contain different instances.");
}
}
}
}
=======OUTPUT=======
Output >> Singleton works, both variables contain the same instance.
