Why not simply use a static class?

But at the moment I want to do this without static.

Singletons are just static classes hidden behind a layer of obfuscation

singleton class MyClass {
 public static singleton Instance { create { return new MyClass() } };
 
 private int nextID = 100;
 public int NextValue() { return nextID++; }
}

static class MyClass {
 private static int nextID = 100; 
 public static int NextValue() { return nextID++; }
}

class Singleton<T> where T: new() {
 private static object lockObject = new object();

 private static T instance;
 public static T Instance {
  get {
   if(instance == null){
    lock(lockObject) {
     if(instance == null) instance = new T();
    }
   }
   return instance;
  }
}

public class Tab1
{
  public void Function_InTab()
  {
    Singleton<MainDlg>.Instance.ShowMessage();
  }
}

public sealed class Foo // must be sealed to prevent alternate instanciation
{
  #region Singleton
  private static readonly Lazy<Foo> _Instance = new Lazy<Foo>(() => new Foo());
  public static Foo Instance { get { return _Instance.Value; } }

  private Foo()
  {
    // the ONLY constructor MUST be private to prevent other ways of creating an instance of the class
  }
  #endregion
  public void Method()
  {
    // ...
  }
  // other class methods/properties/etc.
}

Foo.Instance.Method();

In fact invoking your Singleton implementation twice will create a new instance each time!
