Title Body

So something like: public static class StaticClass {} public class InstanceClass { static StaticClass StaticProperty {get;set;} public InstanceClass() { InstanceClass.StaticProperty = StaticClass; } } I thought one could do this but the compiler returns these errors: static types cannot be used as parameters static types cannot be used as return types EDIT: I know that this doesn't work, but why? I imagine StaticClass is stored somewhere in memory, so other variables could be allowed to refer to it at the same memory, right? EDIT2: One of the use cases would be something like this: Say you have 5 different static classes you have collected with no source code, and they do generic stuff, so you want to have convenient access to them through a single static class. You could do it like: public static class GenericStuff { public LinearAlgebra LinearAlgebra {get;set;} public StringUtilities String {get;set;} public GeometryOps Geometry {get;set;} } And use it like: GenericStuff.LinearAlgebra.GetAngleBetweenVectors(v0, v1); Some other use cases you could think of.
