Why does the C# compiler not fault code where a static method calls an instance method?

Question

The following code has a static method, Foo(), calling an instance method, Bar():

public sealed class Example
{
    int count;

    pub         


        

Answer 1

Foo has a parameter "x" that is dynamic, which means Bar(x) is a dynamic expression.

It would be perfectly possible for Example to have methods like:

static Bar(SomeType obj)

In which case the correct method would be resolved, so the statement Bar(x) is perfectly valid. The fact that there is an instance method Bar(x) is irrelevent and not even considered: by definition, since Bar(x) is a dynamic expression, we have deferred resolution to runtime.
