C# Static variables - scope and persistence

Question

I just did a little experiment:

public abstract class MyClass
{
  private static int myInt = 0;

  public static int Foo()
  {
    return myInt;
  }

  publi         


        

Answer 1

They persist "for the lifetime of the application domain in which your program resides" according to Microsoft Docs: Static Classes and Static Class Members (C# Programming Guide).
