Question

public static class MyClass

  {

    // why it is allowed ?

    public static Random r = new Random();

    // We receive error can not declare instance members in a static class

    public static int someVal=new int();


  }

Why is it allowed in C# to have the following declaration valid in static class context ?

public static Random r = new Random();

Update :

The code is working properly.So no issues.Thanks for your support.

Answer 1

As is, your code compiles just fine.
You’ll only receive the error you described if you delete the static from

public static int someVal=new int();

such as in

public int someVal=new int();

That happens because all members of a static class have to be static too.
