singleton

Hi, Reading some article about singleton, I stopped at the point saying: "Do not allow to crate copy of existing instance". I realized that I do not know how would I do that! Could you tell me, please, how could I copy existing instance of class? And the second one: deserializaition. How it could be dangerous?

And for both - how to deny creating copies or deserialization? Thanks

Dynamic Type to do away with Reflection

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
