Are static members of a generic class tied to the specific instance?
- by mafutrct
This is more of a documentation than a real question. I noticed the principle it is not described on SO yet (did I miss it?), so here goes:
Imagine a generic class that contains a static member:
class Foo<T> {
public static int member;
}
Is there a new instance of the member for each specific class, or is there only a single instance for all Foo-type classes?
It can easily be verified by code like this:
Foo<int>.member = 1;
Foo<string>.member = 2;
Console.WriteLine (Foo<int>.member);
What is the result, and where is this behavior documented?
