Method can be made static, but should it?

Question

Resharper likes to point out multiple functions per asp.net page that could be made static. Does it help me if I do make them static? Should I make them static and move them

Answer 1

Making a method static means you can call the method from outside the class without first creating an instance of that class. This is helpful when working with third-party vendor objects or add-ons. Imagine if you had to first create a Console object "con" before calling con.Writeline();
