singleton classes in c#?

[some1nu]

is there a c# equivalent of a singleton class? if so, how do i go about creating one? thanks!

Something like this might do the trick:

public class MySingleton
{
private static MySingleton instance;

//static ctor - just gotta love these
static MySingleton()
{
instance = new MySingleton();
}

//private ctor to avoid direct instantiation
private MySingleton()
{
//do stuff here
}

//returns the only instance of this object
public MySingleton GetInstance()
{
return instance;
}
}

so, to "instantiate" the class, i do something like this?


MySingleton singleton = MySingleton.GetInstance();

Exactly.
