Is a static member variable common for all C# generic instantiations?

Question

In C# I have a generic class:

public class MyGeneric where ParameterClass: MyGenericParameterClass, new() {
    public static int Varia         


        

Answer 1

Section 25.1.4 of the ECMA C# Language specification

A static variable in a generic class declaration is shared amongst all instances of the same closed constructed type (§26.5.2), but is not shared amongst instances of different closed constructed types. These rules apply regardless of whether the type of the static variable involves any type parameters or not.

You can't do that in C# as well.

MyGeneric.Variable = 1;

Consider the following example from ECMA Language Specification.

class C
{
    static int count = 0;
    public C()
    {
        count++;
    }
    public static int Count
    {
        get { return count; }
    }
}
class Application
{
    static void Main()
    {
        C x1 = new C();
        Console.WriteLine(C.Count);  // Prints 1 
        C x2 = new C();
        Console.WriteLine(C.Count); // Prints 1 
        Console.WriteLine(C.Count);  // Prints 1 
        C x3 = new C();
        Console.WriteLine(C.Count);  // Prints 2 
    }
}
