When should we use static members in a non-static class ?

Hello,

Sometimes you want to reuse the code and it doesn't need to access any instance members so it might be better to use a static method.

void Main()
{
        ThrowMe throwMe = new ThrowMe();
        
        throwMe.Throw();
}

public class ThrowMe
{
        public void Throw()
        {
                throw CreateInvalidOperationException();
        }
        
        public static Exception CreateInvalidOperationException()
        {
                return new InvalidOperationException("The operation is invalid");
        }
}

This is pretty bad example.

An exception is not specific to just one class; it is an object that can be created anywhere, either inside an object or in the main path.

Moreover, the simplicity in creating an exception object does not justify creatlng a static method for it .

It's incredible the amount of idiocies you are able to post.
