Hi Sanjay,
it is called singleton design pattern in OO paradigms.
you can have a static method(like getInstance())
which would check for the existence of instance,
returns it if it exists or creates and returns if
one does not exist.
hope this helps you,
vishnu.

Subject: offtopic: Can i have only one object for a class
Hi All
This is an off-topic but an interesting question?
can i have only one object for a class defined. If user try to create
one more object that should be an Exception or error condition.
Thanks in Advance.
