Usage

You can instanciate the class normally :

TinyThreadSafeCache<MyTypeToCache> MyCache = new TinyThreadSafeCache<MyTypeToCache>();

Or if like me you prefer the accessibility of a singleton, you can derive it :

sealed class MySingletonCache
{
  //singleton private instance
  private static readonly TinyThreadSafeCache<MyTypeToCache> _instance = 
    new TinyThreadSafeCache<MyTypeToCache>(); 
  
  private MySingletonCache() { } // Make sure nobody can call constructor

  public static TinyThreadSafeCache<MyTypeToCache> Instance
  {
    get
    {
      return _instance;
    }
  }
}

And use it anywhere :

MySingletonCache.Instance.Purge();
