Use static methods where you imagine the method would be called by someone who doesn't have an instance of your class. For example, a method that creates a class instance needs to be static. Often, a method is static because it's the only method a user is likely to call in a given instance, it doesn't require any state ( static objects are not tied to an instance, and so have no state beyond static variables ) and so a static method means they are not forced to create an instance just to call a method.

Hi Christian Graus,
Thanks for your reply.
I know that differents between static method and non static, just be at a loss to when use a static method or non static one.

This is best answer about this question. I will spend more time think about it.
do you have any guideline about it?
Thanks again.

Here is a great example:
http://www.pp.rhul.ac.uk/~george/PH2150/html/node48.html[^]
The way I understand it, static methods are not object-specific. A static method will always only have one instance, irrespective of what object invokes it.

You would want to use static methods when it wouldn't make sense to create an instance fo the class for it.
For example:
<br />
Math myMath = new Math();<br />
myPath.sqrt(3.14);<br />
Wouldn't make sense. You don't want to have to create a Math object just to use the square root function. Instead, you make the square root function a static method of the Math class, so you can just say
Math.sqrt(3.14);
Hope that helps some.

yeah, It's helpful to me.
more and more answers help me understand when use a static method.
Thanks a lot.

A good time to 'investigate' using a static method is if no 'instance' state needs to be persisted, read, or changed in the method.

I am developing a Windows Service under VS 2005. Within the code some shared network directories have to be enumerated but when the code attempts to verify the existence of any one of those directories with code similar to: Directory.Exists("\\somedir\subdir") the function returns false every time apparently because network authentication is not automatically done by Directory.Exists. Can anyone point me in the write direction (e.g. example) of what I must do programatically to ensure the network authentication is in place to allow this command to succeed in a Windows Service when using UNC names?
Thank you...

Never mind. Just had to set up the proper service logon.

Have a look in the obj folder and see for yourself. The difference is, the C# compiler isn't compiling an executable file, just MSIL.

Nothing too exciting in the obj folders of my VS2005 projects. Just a ton of intermediate files

Ok, I don't mind helping out here, and have gotten help here, BUT it is frustrating when people ask the SAME QUESTION over and over.
You asked basically this SAME question two days ago. What part of C# DOES NOT GENERATE OBJ FILES did you not understand? Do some reading on the environment on your own. This is BASIC to the .NET platform.
This is C# w/.NET and NOT C or C++. Get over it or code in those languages.
Sorry for the rant guys.

I have a program that consists of a number of messages type. I am trying to ensure that all messages of a given type have a dedicated handler. Each message type has its own message handler.
I have created an interface base class which states all messages need a handler.
Each derived class should have a single event handler, therefore I used the static keyword so that it is common across all the derived classes i.e. a single handleMsg for all instances of the msg1 class.
So I implemented this:
interface baseMsg
{
void handleMsg ();
}
class msg1 : baseMsg
{
…
public static void handleMsg ()
{
Console.WriteLine ("msg1 Handled");
}
}
class msg2 : baseMsg
{
…
public static void handleMsg ()
{
Console.WriteLine ("msg2 Handled");
}
}
I am getting an error CS0536:
Error Message
'class' does not implement interface member 'interface member'. 'class member' is static, not public, or has the wrong return type
So I cannot implement it in the way I originally thought.
Does anyone have any suggestion on how I can achieve this?
Thanks,
LiamD

A singleton pattern for the event-handler class?

use some form of storage (database, XML, flat text, whatever) to store the last-used number and load that each time the form starts.

I don't really know what you are talking about. The two forms jumped back and forth so quickly I could not really see the screens. And my machine sucks.
