Question

In java you can add static operation block in any class and it will be called when the application start:

class test{
   static{
    //do some operation when the application starts.
   }
}

What is the equivalent in c#?
Thanks

Answer 1

The equivalent in C# is the static constructor:

class Test
{ 
   static Test()
   { 
    //do some operation before accessing to any member of the class
   } 
} 

The static constructor is guaranteed to be executed before any class member is accessed. It’s not guaranteed to be called at application start though.
