Hi, "Static classes do not contain any instance member properties or functions. So to make an instance would be pointless." "Static classes are used for containing Variables, properties and functions that have the same effect all over your program" For more details, please follow below threads - https://sanmukhait.wordpress.com/2013/04/07/why-we-cant-create-object-for-static-class/ http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19444155/why-we-cannot-create-the-instance-of-the-static-class-in-net

Remember: You can define a class as static if you want to guarantee that it can't be instantiated, can't derive from or serve as the base for another type, and can contain only static members.

Making instances to a static class would be pointless because it does not contains any instance memory property or functions. It contains static constructor which does not takes any access modifiers it does not contains an instance constructor.
