Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? Rob Philpott8-Apr-09 5:40 Rob Philpott 8-Apr-09 5:40  Did you cheat? Regards, Rob Philpott. Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? Le centriste8-Apr-09 5:46 Le centriste 8-Apr-09 5:46  Nope. This is easy, the first time a static method gets invoked, the static constructor is invoked. Yours throws an exception. The second time, the static constructor is not invoked again, so your call succeeds. Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this?

Le centriste8-Apr-09 5:48 Le centriste 8-Apr-09 5:48  I got it wrong? Then, why did you accuse me of cheating? Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? DominLondon8-Apr-09 5:49 DominLondon 8-Apr-09 5:49  Hes playing. But you did get the answer wrong. Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? Le centriste8-Apr-09 5:53 Le centriste 8-Apr-09 5:53  Yes, I finally ran it. I am surprised that the static constructor is called twice. Probably because it is throwing an exception. Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? DominLondon8-Apr-09 5:54 DominLondon 8-Apr-09 5:54  The static constructor is NOT being called twice. Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? Le centriste8-Apr-09 6:00 Le centriste 8-Apr-09 6:00  yeah, you're right. So, when the static constructor first throws an exception, any attempt to use the static methods (or maybe instance methods) rethrows the exception. I never use static constructors, and such behavior does not make me want to them. Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? MNantu8-Apr-09 5:41 MNantu 8-Apr-09 5:41  I think the TestStatic.SaySomething will not be called and it will directly go to the catch block. But the second TestStatic.SaySomething will be called because static constructors are called only once, afaik. Am I correct ? Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? Rob Philpott8-Apr-09 5:44 Rob Philpott 8-Apr-09 5:44  erm... No. But well done for not cheating. Regards, Rob Philpott. Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? Le centriste8-Apr-09 5:47 Le centriste 8-Apr-09 5:47  So, both me and this guy give the correct answer. You greet him and you accuse me of cheating. You're a plain a**hole. Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? DominLondon8-Apr-09 5:48 DominLondon 8-Apr-09 5:48  You both got the answer wrong . He was only joking when he asked if you were cheating... Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? Le centriste8-Apr-09 5:53 Le centriste 8-Apr-09 5:53  He forgot the icon, so I took as a personal attack. Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? Rob Philpott8-Apr-09 5:56 Rob Philpott 8-Apr-09 5:56  That's a bit rude isn't it? Not sure I like you. And neither did I accuse you of cheating. Tut. Regards, Rob Philpott. Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? Le centriste8-Apr-09 6:08 Le centriste 8-Apr-09 6:08  Hmmm I am not sure of this.... Anyway, my apologies if I offended you. Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? Rob Philpott8-Apr-09 6:15 Rob Philpott 8-Apr-09 6:15  Not offended at all Sir. Regards, Rob Philpott. Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? musefan8-Apr-09 5:59 musefan 8-Apr-09 5:59  I didnt think you could compile with a static constructor? I assume i am wrong thou as others have tested? so in which case i would say output is.. HI Hi 2 Life goes very fast. Tomorrow, today is already yesterday. Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? Rob Philpott8-Apr-09 6:02 Rob Philpott 8-Apr-09 6:02  Can't compile with a static constructor?! Not sure they'd be much use in the language if that were the case. Sorry, you're wrong too. Regards, Rob Philpott. Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? musefan8-Apr-09 6:08 musefan 8-Apr-09 6:08  hmmm... well as the TestStatic class is not static it can have a constructor, i just didnt know it could be static. but either way any static methods (i.e. SaySomething) can be called without the need to create an instance of your class, which you are not doing in your code. So both calls to the SaySomething method should be successful, can you explain why either would fail? i think not. Life goes very fast. Tomorrow, today is already yesterday. Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? Le centriste8-Apr-09 6:10 Le centriste 8-Apr-09 6:10  Any class can have a static constructor, but it is highly recommended to make sure they never throw exceptions.

Regards, Rob Philpott. Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? musefan8-Apr-09 6:10 musefan 8-Apr-09 6:10  what about... Afternoon Exception HI Hi 2 edit: no, that wouldnt happen if an exception is thrown when the program runs then surely it would just crash with the unhandled exception in the static constructor, no? Life goes very fast. Tomorrow, today is already yesterday. Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? harold aptroot8-Apr-09 6:04 harold aptroot 8-Apr-09 6:04  Ok, well, you have a static ctor which will throw an exception the first time the type is used, so it would be: Afternoon Exception Hi 2 Correct? Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? Rob Philpott8-Apr-09 6:05 Rob Philpott 8-Apr-09 6:05  Nope! Regards, Rob Philpott. Re: Just for fun - what's the output of this? harold aptroot8-Apr-09 6:08 harold aptroot 8-Apr-09 6:08  Ok, I rethought. The ctor fails, and that is bad. How about Afternoon Exception Afternoon Exception ?
