Member '' cannot be accessed with an instance reference

Question

I am getting into C# and I am having this issue:

namespace MyDataLayer
{
    namespace Section1
    {
        public class MyClass
        {
            publ         


        

Answer 1

This causes the error:

MyClass aCoolObj = new MyClass();
aCoolObj.MyCoolStaticMethod();

This is the fix:

MyClass.MyCoolStaticMethod();

Explanation:

You can't call a static method from an instance of an object. The whole point of static methods is to not be tied to instances of objects, but instead to persist through all instances of that object, and/or to be used without any instances of the object.
