Flyweight Pattern

Flyweight allows you to share bulky data which are common to each object. In other words, if you think that same data is repeating for every object, you can use this pattern to point to the single object and hence can easily save space.

     /// </summary>
    public class FlyWeight
    {
        public string Company { get; set; }
        public string CompanyLocation { get; set; }
        public string CompanyWebSite { get; set; }
        //Bulky Data
        public byte[] CompanyLogo { get; set; }
    }
    public static class FlyWeightPointer
    {
        public static FlyWeight Company = new FlyWeight
        {
            Company = "Abc",
            CompanyLocation = "XYZ",
            CompanyWebSite = "www.abc.com"
        };
    }
    public class MyObject
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public FlyWeight Company
        {
            get
        ing Name { get    {
                return FlyWeightPointer.Company;
            }
        }
     
    }

Here the FlyweightPointer creates a static member Company, which is used for every object of MyObject.
