How to return a static class instance in c#

Question

I would like to get an instance of a static class, but I can’t seem to do this without implementing a singleton wrapper on a non-static class– is this possible, or am I miss

Answer 1

There is no reason to return a instance to a static class ( If the class is static there is no instance ).

You can access the class from everywhere, why returning a instance to it? I can't imagine any reason to do this.

Static class usage

To use a static class just write it like below:

MyStaticClass.MyMethod();
Int32 callCount = MyStaticClass.CallCount;

As you can see it doesn't even make sense to declare a variable because this would just look like this:

MyStaticClass msc = MyStaticClass.Instance();
msc.MyMethod();
Int32 callCount = msc.CallCount;

If you want to have a shorter name you just can use:

 using MSC = MyNamespace.MyStaticClass;
