Easy Lazy Loading in C#: Boost Performance and Reduce Resource Usage!
In C#, there are many scenarios where you may want to defer the creation of an object until it’s actually needed. This is where the Lazy<T>
class comes in handy. Lazy<T>
is a class in C# that allows you to create an object that is only instantiated when it's actually needed. In this article, we'll explore what Lazy<T>
is, how it works, and when to use it in your code.
What is Lazy<T>?
Lazy<T>
is a class in the System
namespace that is used to create objects that are lazily initialized. When you create an instance of Lazy<T>
, it doesn't immediately create the object that it represents. Instead, it waits until the first time that you access the object, and then creates it.
Here’s an example of creating a Lazy<T>
object:
Lazy<MyObject> lazyObject = new Lazy<MyObject>();
In this example, we’ve created a Lazy<MyObject>
object. Note that we haven't created an instance of MyObject
yet. The Lazy<T>
object will create an instance of MyObject
the first time we access it.
How does Lazy<T> work?
When you create an instance of Lazy<T>
, it creates a LazyThreadSafetyMode
object that determines how the object will be accessed. The LazyThreadSafetyMode
object…
