Static Members

Static Members

• static class , a method , members can be defined with the help of static keyword.

• After defining a member as a static, member can be directly invoked by using class.

• so static members are accessed without creating a instance of class.

• They are slightly faster than instance methods

• Static class contains only static methods and static members only.

• So instance of the static members can not be created with new keyword.

            Eg : System.Math class is a static method.

            Another Example

namespace Persons

{

    public static class Employee

    {

        public static string ManagerName()

        {

            return "Sandeep";

        }

    }

}

In Code behind file.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

     string sManagerName = Persons.Employee.ManagerName();

}
