Example of using LazyInitializer.EnsureInitialized

When looking at making systems more efficient it's helpful to think about being lazy. A helpful tool in the .NET tool belt is the static class under the System.Threading namespace LazyInitializer. In particular this class contains a method EnsureInitialized

This method is very simple to use and provides a convenient way to ensure that an initialization is called only once based on the value of the target property already being populated.

For example, if you need to load a file as part of the setting of values in an application you can use the EnsureInitialized method.

The following is a derived example of using the class to illustrate the usage pattern.
