Is it possible to declare a class as static? I can't seem to do that.
What if I need a class that I don't want instantiated? It will contain only
static members.
Thanks.

You can't make a class static. Just make a regular class and don't
instantiate it.

Do you know how the Math class is defined?
If I try:
Math m = new Math();
I get:
'System.Math.Ma th()' is inaccessible due to its protection level
But of course I can do this:
double d = Math.PI;
That's the type of functionality I want.
Thanks.

I'm pretty new to C# so please someone correct me if I'm wrong but, if I
understand correctly, you can use double d = Math.PI; because Math makes
available a public static property, method, field, etc titled PI (or
whatever). Create your class as normal and create your
methods/properties/fields as static.

Make constructor private (if you don't want to instantiate objects of your
class, you don't realy nead constructor, but if you do so, you will get
warning if you try Myclass m = new Myclass())
But of course I can do this:
double d = Math.PI;
Make all members static
That's the type of functionality I want.
You will get what you want ;)))
Greetings
Someone,
Make the default constructor of your class private, so no one can create an
instance of the class.
Make the class itself sealed, so no one can derive from it.
Only create static members in the class.
Hope this helps

Hi,
You CANNOT make a class static, you can make methods, properties and
variables of that class static , though.
If you don't want an instance of that classes to be created you can declare
the constructor as private therefore nobody can create it. Also remember
that if you are going to have only static method then this constructor will
never be called, therefore you will need to have a constructor marked as
static
Hope this help,

Agreed...

Not agreed. You *may* need a static constructor, but in many cases you
don't.

Ok, you are right, the correct word is "may" and no "need" , the english is
not my first language and sometimes I mix the words :)

Question: How do friend functions and static member functions differ in
terms of functionality? I mean, neither necessarily needs an object of

only to static members of the class (ie. assuming no object of the

declarations). Any static member function like this:

I have a common List<T> defined in a base class, and the base class has a

I wanted the derived class to add items to this list, but have the base

Problem is, however, that the derived class' static constructor doesn't get
called when DerivedClass.MyList is accessed, so the list has no members. If

Hi,
I find myself using static methods more than I probably should, so I am
looking for some advice on a better approach.
For example, I am writing an app that involves quite a bit of database
operations on purchase orders and inventory. I have created a PurchaseOrder
class and Inventory class to encapsulate operations like creating POs,
finding items, etc. These two classes are used extensively from different
parts of the app.

Hi,
I have a base class with a static constructor and some abstract methods.
Derived classes implement these methods. From articles on the web, it appears
that there is no guarentee that this static constructor of the base class
would be invoked even if a an object of the derived class is created. Is this
correct ? Is there any way to ensure the base class's static constructor is
invoked before the derived class instance is constructed ?...

Hello,
I learned that there are five kinds of static objects, namely
1. global objects
2. object defined in namespace scope
3. object declared static instead classes
4. objects declared static inside functions (i.e. local static
objects)
5. objects declared at file scope.
