How can we implement singleton pattern in .NET?

Singleton pattern restricts only one instance running for an object.

Singleton pattern is commonly used in print spoolers.

Following are the three steps needed to implement singleton pattern in .NET:-

• A class with static members needs to be created.
  Public class SampleStaticClass
  Private shared objemployee as clsemployee
  End class
• A private constructor to the class above should be defined.
• A static method can be used to access the singleton object.
