Static vs Singleton in C# (Difference between Singleton and Static)

Recently I have came across a question what is the difference between Static and Singleton classes. So I thought it will be a good idea to share blog post about it.

Difference between Static and Singleton classes:

  1. A singleton classes allowed to create a only single instance or particular class. That instance can be treated as normal object. You can pass that object to a method as parameter or you can call the class method with that Singleton object. While static class can have only static methods and you can not pass static class as parameter.
  2. We can implement the interfaces with the Singleton class while we can not implement the interfaces with static classes.
  3. We can clone the object of Singleton classes we can not clone the object of static classes.
  4. Singleton objects stored on heap while static class stored in stack.

Horizontal and vertical scrollbar in HTML5 and CSS3

In this post we are going to learn how we can put horizontal and vertical scrollbar in HTML5 and css3. In earlier version of HTML and CSS if we have to put only horizontal or vertical scrollbar that was not possible. Because there was no such properties there in CSS to describe whether we have horizontal scrollbar or vertical scrollbar.

Scroll bar in earlier version of HTML and CSS3:


In earlier version of HTML and CSS we have to use overflow property to display scrollbar for a particular div tag and If we add scrollbar it will add both horizontal and vertical scrollbar even if there is no need for that.Following is a code for that.

Entity Framework : There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command

Recently working on an application with entity framework 4.1 When I was retrieving data and updating data with same data context I was getting following error. It was working fine on another machine but on mine it was giving this error.

There is already an open DataReader associated with this Command.

After digging into the problem for some time I have found that I have not opened multiple active result set in my connection string. So what was happening when I retrieved data with entity framework there was an already opened data reader with that and after that I was updating data so we all know that an data reader is always have connected to particular connection. So it was not allowing me to update the data.
So I have added following attribute to my connection string.

“MultipleActiveResultSets=True”

Then I again test above scenario and it was working fine. It’s very easy. Hope you like it. Stay tuned for more..
