Hi everybody ,
A Couple of weeks back I had asked some practicle
scenarios for using the sigleton pattern.
Most people use the singleton pattern for storing
configuration related data .
Would this not make it difficult to update the cofig data
as the webserver would have to be restarted if there is a
change in the config file.

Not the webserver - only the Web application I suppose. And you could
probably employ the FileSystemWatcher object to monitor changes in the
configuration file and reload it if necessary.
 
Yes, use a FileSystemWatcher and make sure you update your singleton
threadsafe ...
