Question

Ok, so I know you can’t have objects in a static class but i need a class that i can hold objects that are accessible from different classes. I am making a dll that will provide extended functionality to another program so i can’t just inherit or pass classes around either. if need be i can just maybe make the properties of each object i need to be in the static class which would work but not be as friendly as i would like. anyone have any other ideas on how to accomplish something like this?

Actually, you can have objects in a static class — they just have to be static objects.

For instance:

public static class SharedObjects
{
    private static MyClass obj = new MyClass();
    public static MyClass GetObj() 
    {
        return obj;
    }
}

And from elsewhere in your program you can call instance methods/properties/etc.:

SharedObjects.GetObj().MyInstanceMethod();
