  What is Singleton Design Pattern?   Singleton design pattern in C# is one of the most popular design patterns. In this pattern, a class has only one instance in the program that provides a global point of access to it. In other words, a singleton is a class that allows only a single instance of itself to be created and usually gives simple access to that instance.   There are various ways to implement a singleton pattern in C#. The following are the common characteristics of a singleton pattern. Private and parameterless single constructor Sealed class. Static variable to hold a reference to the single created instance A public and static way of getting the reference to the created instance. Advantages of Singleton Design Pattern   The advantages of a Singleton Pattern are, Singleton pattern can implement interfaces. Can be lazy-loaded and has Static Initialization. It helps to hide dependencies. It provides a single point of access to a particular instance, so it ...

  Design patterns provide general solutions or a flexible way to solve common design problems. This article introduces design patterns and how design patterns are implemented in C# and .NET. Before starting with design patterns in .NET, let's understand the meaning of design patterns and why they are useful in software architecture and programming. What are Design Patterns in Software Development? Design Patterns in the object-oriented world are a reusable solution to common software design problems that repeatedly occur in real-world application development. It is a template or description of how to solve problems that can be used in many situations. " A pattern is a recurring solution to a problem in a context. " " Each pattern describes a problem that occurs over and over again in our environment and then describes the core of the solution to that problem in such a way that you can use this solution a million times over without ever doing it the same way twice. ...
