Novice in C# -Incrementing Employee Class
Hello,
I have written a code that needs to increment my employee object by 1 for each instance of the class Employee.I am using a variable private static int numEmployee = 0;
My program runs fine, but it keeps giving me total employees = "2" and "3" for employee1 and employee2, and I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Please look at this code and offer any help !!!
This is my first post, so not sure if this format is correct or not. I used Visual Studio 2010 for C# to compile.

class Employee
{
private string firstName;
private string lastName;
private char gender;
private int dependents;
private double annualSalary;
private double pay;
public static int numEmployees = 0; // created static variable
public const string DEFAULT_FIRST = " not given";
public const string DEFAULT_LAST = " not given";
public const char DEFAULT_GENDER = 'U';
public const int DEFAULT_DEPENDENTS = 0;
private const double DEFAULT_ANNUALSALARY = 20000;
public Employee()
{
FirstName = DEFAULT_FIRST;
LastName = DEFAULT_LAST;
Gender = DEFAULT_GENDER;
Dependents = DEFAULT_DEPENDENTS;
AnnualSalary = DEFAULT_ANNUALSALARY;
numEmployees++; // incremented numEmployees
}
public Employee(string first, string last, char gen, int dep, double salary)
{
DisplayEmployeeInformation(first, last, gen, dep, salary);
numEmployees++; //incremented numEmployees
}

Console.WriteLine("Cancel the employee!!");

}

return numEmployees;
}

{
return (annualSalary / 52);
}
public override string ToString()
{
string str;
str = "Employee AnnualSalary: $" + AnnualSalary.ToString("N2") + "\n ";
return str;
}

Console.WriteLine("Last Name: " + last);

annualSalary = salary;

Console.WriteLine("Employee Weekly Pay:$ " + pay.ToString("N2"));
Console.WriteLine("Total Employees:" + numEmployees);
}
