    What do you mean by "extensible"? It's not quite clear here.

    Why useless?
    It's simpler than using attributes:

class Singleton
{
    public static type1 prop1;
    public static type2 prop2;

    private static Singleton instance = null;

    private Singleton()
    {
        // do something with prop1 and prop2.
    }

    public static Singleton Instance
    {
        get
        {
            if(instance == null)
            {
                instance = new Singleton();
            }
            return instance;
        }
    }
}


    I think this should satisfy you. Or are you looking for something more?
