When to lazy load?

Question

I lazy load all my members. I have been doing this for a while and simply taken lazy load to be a good thing at face value.

Let\'s say we have

publi         


        

Answer 1

this is not lazy loading.

lazy loading would mean that you just load the value at the moment of a real access (which doesnt happen in the initializer)

lazy loading is something like that:

private SomeClass _someRef = null;
public SomeClass SomeRef
{
  get
  {
    if(_someRef == null)
    {
       //initialisation just in case of access
       _someRef = new  SomeClass();
    }
    return _someRef;
  }
}
