Static vs. non-static method

Question

Suppose you have some method that could be made static, inside a non-static class.
For example:

private double power(double a, double b)
    {
        r         


        

Answer 1

i hope we need to define the difference between static and non-static method. Here i am posting few easy lines of code to visualize the conceptual difference.

public class StaticVsNonStatic
{
     public string NonStaticMethod() //non-static
     {

         return "I am the Non-Static Method"; 

     }

     static public string StaticMethod() //static
     {

         return "I am Static Method";
     }

 }

Now lets create an aspx page try to access these 2 methods defined in the class.

 public partial class StaticVsNonStatic_StaticVsNonWorkplace : System.Web.UI.Page
 {
     protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
     {

        StaticVsNonStatic objStaticVsNonStatic = new StaticVsNonStatic();
        lblDisplayNS.Text = objStaticVsNonStatic.NonStaticMethod(); //Non Static 
        lblDisplayS.Text =  StaticVsNonStatic.StaticMethod();  //Static and called without object
     }
 }

Thanks and please post you comments.
