Do variables in static methods become static automatically because they are within static scopes in c#?

Question

public static void DoSomething()
{
int a;
string b;

//..do something
}

In the example above, i have declared two variables. Do they become static

Answer 1

No. Only the method is static but not variables.

From MSDN:

C# does not support static local variables (variables that are declared in method scope).

if you want to have static variable in static member, do the declaration outside the static method,

private static int _var = 0;
public static void SampleMethod()
{
     _var++;
}
