Static and instance methods

When a method declaration includes a static modifier, the method is said to be a static method. When no static modifier is present, the method is said to be an instance method.

A static method does not operate on a specific instance, and it is an error to refer to this in a static method. It is furthermore an error to include a virtual, abstract, or override modifier on a static method.

An instance method operates on a given instance of a class, and this instance can be accessed as this (§7.5.7).

The differences between static and instance members are further discussed in §10.2.5.
