Nothing "built in", but here is a pretty straight forward article on implementing:

Thanks tehremo for the reply.
Sorry If my question was not clear. I know how to implment.
I'm just trying to find if any real time example where .NET Framework already used it.

Hi duttavr,
If you consider Application object in asp.net you will find it implemented as singleton as Application object is shared throuughout the application and
no other instance of same can exists.

No, Application is property of type HttpApplicationState.
HttpApplicationState is just a sealesed public class, it's not created a singleton class.
However logically Application property will be assigned with only one object throught the application.
mutliple application objects to HttpApplicationState will be created for muliple applications.
So it is just logically mainted as singleton rather created HttpApplicationState as singleton class.
I agree that implementation alwasy can be altered to our needs., however, I could not see any realtime class defined as singleton physically as mentioned in GangOfFour example.

Hi Rajaraman,
All the static objects from BCL are implemented as Singleton pattern. If you need an example to justify my statement, please see the below code
I'm sure that you must be aware that the SystemColors is a class.
On a second thought, check for the information about DataRowComparer. This static class DataRowComparer is a member of System.Data. The summary for this static class is mentioned by Microsoft as, "Returns a singleton instance of the System.Data.DataRowComparer<TRow> class."
Hope this helps.

I think so when you host the wcf service internally microsoft uses singleton to make sure it has only one instance available.

Your explanation is ambiguous. ServiceHost is not singleton. SingletonInstance points to service object which is passed when ServiceHost(Object, uri[]) syntax is used. If Other syntax is used which accepts type (and InstanceContextMode is not single, this object is null.
