Managing of shared resources between classes?
- by Axarydax
Imagine that I have a several Viewer component that are used for displaying text and they have few modes that user can switch (different font presets for viewing text/binary/hex).
What would be the best approach for managing shared objects - for example fonts, find dialog, etc? I figured that static class with lazily initialized objects would be OK, but this might be the wrong idea.
static class ViewerStatic
{
private static Font monospaceFont;
public static Font MonospaceFont
{
get
{
if (monospaceFont == null)
//TODO read font settings from configuration
monospaceFont = new Font(FontFamily.GenericMonospace, 9, FontStyle.Bold);
return monospaceFont;
}
}
private static Font sansFont;
public static Font SansFont
{
get
{
if (sansFont == null)
//TODO read font settings from configuration
sansFont = new Font(FontFamily.GenericSansSerif, 9, FontStyle.Bold);
return sansFont;
}
}
}
