yeah you are reading the VB.NET help for static ...<br />
<br />
out of curiosity isnt a static variable scoped to an instance really an instance variable ?<br />
<br />
public class foo {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; private int bar; <br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; public void test() {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;bar += 1;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; }<br />
}<br />
<br />
this would be scoped to the instance no ?

Can anyone explain this......................<wbr />..........<wbr />........<br />
<br />
Static variables declared within nonshared methods are per instance: each instance of the type that contains the method has its own copy of the static variable.<br />
<br />
I need to create static variables per instance..... in my application... is it possible... Please let me know?<br />
<br />

static variables

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
