Use static function from a class without naming the class

Question

How can I access functions from a class without having to name that class every time? I know how to use \"using\" so that I don\'t have to name the namespace but I was hopin

Answer 1

In C#? Not possible. Because it's a full OOP programming language and it was designed to work with objects you can't use functions outside the scope of an object. When calling static methods you have to specify the class where that static method lives...

Class.StaticMethod();

you can only use the short-hand notation if this method is call from within the same class...

StaticMethod();

But remember that you will not get access to instance members because static methods donot belong to instance of an object

Update based on comment

Looks like it will be possible to call static members without having to specify the class that declares it in C# 6, and you will be able to reference classes directly in using statements...in similar fashion to Java...more info here
