What is practical use of static keyword in detail in C#?

Hi,

Here I have exaplanation for static keyword why we need static keyword.

The static keyword can be used with classes, variables, methods, properties, etc.

Static keyword cannot be used with indexers, destructors or types other than classes.

Few things we need to remember about static keyword.

If we use static keyword in class, we can not intantiate static class.
If we use with proerty, method or variable then we can access it using classname.property, classname.methodname or classname.variablename.
If we create static constructor in class it excute once and before all other constructor in the class. It means static contructor excutes first among all other constructor.
Static method can only other static items.

The 'static' keyword in C# is refering to something in the class, or the class itself, that is shared amongst all instances of the class
