By reviewing your code, I'd suggest you use in-property initialization, or, even better, a singleton.
By in-property initialization, I mean:
interface IDictionaryContainer{ Dictionary<string, int> Container { get; }}class DictionaryContainer : IDictionaryContainer{ private static Dictionary<string, int> singletonContainer; public Dictionary<string, int> Container { get { if (singletonContainer == null) { singletonContainer = new Dictionary<string, int>(); singletonContainer["ten"] = 10; singletonContainer["twenty"] = 20; singletonContainer["thirty"] = 30; } return singletonContainer; } }}I am a developer, but at work I happen to do some support, with a lot worse appreciation for advise or cooperation. So, don't get angry with him/her. He/she probably doesn't care at all, so don't waste your time being angry.
To the thread poster: instead of worrying whether and when your supposed Init method is called, you can do in-property initialization. You get the benefit of always having your property initialized and a little something called late-binding (a kind of, the only stuff that ever gets initialized is the one you use). The drawback is that first operations are going to be slower.
