But, in general I agree with Craig. For this type of thing you should be using something like Prism or MEF....

What you showed isn't a cyclic reference? Application has database and Database has application?

I need to research on what is Prism or MEF, I am not familiar.

Also, after looking a bit closer into the project I found AppInfo static class (it's from another project which is referenced in this one) and I am wondering if I am doing something which we already have partially implemented.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
