static methods

Tem
Are static methods good for performance when no instance specific
reference/property is called? or is it better to just leave them as
non-static methods?

Okay, I'm in a debate over whether or not static methods are a good idea in a general domain class. I'm personally not a fan of static methods but we seem to be using them to load an object. For example if you have an Employee class rather then instantiating an instance you call a static method 'GetEmployees' and it returns a List of...

Hello, I would like to know whether it is possible to define static class methods and data members in Python (similar to the way it can be done in C++ or Java). These do not seem to be mentioned in "Learning Python" by Mark Lutz and David Ascher. It seems like they are a relatively new feature... It seems to me that any truly OO programming...

In C#, an interface cannot mark any method as static. i'm told the ILASM supports it but i've never tested that Two questions. First, why? OK, i've heard the reason about interfaces being allocated on the stack but that's not a real reason. Which is OK because this isn't a real question, it's just a complaint dressed up to look like a reason...

Why are there static methods in C#. In C++ static was applied to data only (I believe) and it meant that the static piece of data was not a part of the object but only a part of the class (one copy of data as opposed to multiple instances of the class) C# is now applying the static concept to methods. Why?, I thought that only one copy of...
