Hi Again!!

I have just found that static constructors can not specify access modifiers... I was wondering why....

somebody please explain...!!

much appreciated.......

How are you using it in your code?

Is this an error message you got?

Actually... I got this from one of the CSharp books........
It states that because static constructors are automatically private...... no other access modifiers may be specified.. including private.....

but I was just wondering why they were automatically private... I can't seem to find the link!!

Specifying an access modifier for a static constructor would be meaningless as it is never called by any kind of C# code that you write to make use of the class, instead they are called by the .Net Environment as the class definition is loaded for the first time in the program.
