what to use instead of a singleton c# code example

Example 1: 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.

Example 2: singleton pattern c#

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;
    }
    }
    }
