static class libraries?

[Guest]

hello. I'm new to making separate class libraries for my projects.

can you make a separate class library of a public static class ? with public
static methods ?

or is that not possible because in order to access a class library you need
to make an instance. what if you have the class library use the same
namespace as the current project ?

thanks

An assembly can contain static classes and methods just fine. I do it
all the time for helper methods.

Hi Rogelio,

A class library can contain only static classes just fine.

Sharing namespace across various projects (including libraries) works fine as well, although you may want to rethink your naming convention with perhaps a shared root namespace, sub namespaces.
