Static members and non-static members in C #

If a member in a class is declared as static, the member is called a quiescent member. The members in the class are either static or non-static. Generally, static members belong to the class, and non-static members are instances of the class-objects.

The following sample code demonstrates how to declare static and non-static members.

Program Listing 10-5:

Using System;
Class Test
{
  int x;
  static int y;
     void F () {
     x=1;//correct, equivalent to this.x=1
     y=1//correct, equivalent to Test.y=1
  }
  static void G () {
  x=1;//error, no access to this.x
  Y=1//correct, equivalent to Test.y=1
  }
  static void Main () {
  Test t=new test ();
  T.x=1;  Correct
  T.y=1;  Error, static member Test.x=1 cannot be accessed in an instance of a class
  ;//Error, non-static member Test.y=1 cannot be accessed by class
  ;//Correct 
  }

A non-static member of a class belongs to an instance of a class, and each instance of a class creates an area in memory for non-static members. The static members of the class are owned by the class and are shared by all instances of the class. No matter how many replicas this class creates, a static member occupies only one area of memory.
