What do you mean by "get inherited" ?

They do become accessible within the scope of the derived class:

class Base {
public: static void foo();
};

class Derived : public Base {
};

int main()
{
Derived::foo();
}
What more would you expect ?

No, you must write DERIVED::foo() !

[ Please, quote some context when you reply.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-post#Inline_replies for more
informations. Also, unless Google Groups goofed, you seem to have
replied to your own post. Don't do that. Reply to the post you are
answering to (doesn't it make sense?) ]

Why don't you try it?

Don't guess about language features. Buy a good book (see www.accu.org
for suggestions) and study it.

A static member function is called either with

class_name::f() ;

or

object_name.f() ;

Why can't I have a static abstract method in C#? My intention is to have a class-level method that returns a string to supply information about inherited classes, and it is natural to make this static so that I don't need an instance in order to call it. However, because my class model is using a common base class, I need to make it abstract too, so that inherited classes are forced to implement it. Am I doing something that can be...

Just want to see if this is 'by design' or a bug... I have a common List<T> defined in a base class, and the base class has a static property to expose this list. I wanted the derived class to add items to this list, but have the base class hold the data and expose the property. 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
