In this code snippet, we will learn about the static keyword in C#.
The static keyword is used to indicate that a method, property, etc can be used without making an instance of its class.
Let’s see how to use the static keyword in the code below.
Code:
using System;
namespace Static
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//MyMethod can't be called without an insatnce of MyClass.
//MyMethod();
MyClass MC = new MyClass();
MC.MyMethod();
//MyOthermethod is static so it can be called without an instance of MyClass.
MyClass.MyOtherMethod();
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
class MyClass
{
public void MyMethod()
{
Console.WriteLine("From MyMethod.");
}
public static void MyOtherMethod()
{
Console.WriteLine("From MyOtherMethod.");
}
}
} Resulting output:
