Static method of class


What is static member of class?

A static member belongs to the class rather than to the instances of the class. In C# data fields, member functions, properties and events can be declared static. When any instances of the class are created, they cannot be used to access the static member.


To access a static class member, use the name of the class instead of an instance variable

Static methods and Static properties can only access static fields and static events.

Like: int i = Car.GetWheels;

Here Car is class name and GetWheels is static property.

Static members are often used to represent data or calculations that do not change in response to object state.
