Re: Instance vs Static + Option

I've been using a proxy pattern for stuff like this, I tried using
Spring.Net to do it, but what a nightmare to configure for just one or
two objects.
here's a quick and dirty example

    public interface ISettings
    {
        object ReadValue(string name);
        void WriteValue(string name, object value);

    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Public class that is used to read the settings from, not there
is no real implementation in this class
    /// it serves as a proxy class.
    /// </summary>
    public class Settings : ISettings
    {
        private ISettings proxy;
        #region ISettings Members

        private void CheckProxy()
        {
            if (proxy == null)
            {
                switch (Properties.Settings.Default.CodeVersion)
                {
                    case "DEBUG":
                        this.proxy = new TestSettings();
                        return;
                    default:
                        this.proxy = new LiveSettings();
                        return;
                }

            }
        }
        public object ReadValue(string name)
        {
            CheckProxy();
            return proxy.ReadValue(name);
        }

        public void WriteValue(string name, object value)
        {
            CheckProxy();
           proxy.WriteValue(name,object);
        }

        #endregion
    }

/// <summary>
    /// Application class.
    /// </summary>
    public class DemoClass
    {
 //We create a new class and don't worry about what we will be attacking.
        private Settings settings = new Settings();
        private string connectionString = string.Empty;
        public DemoClass()
        {
            //We get a connection string from the class.
            connectionString = (string)settings.ReadValue("ConnectionString");
        }
    }
