C# Error CS0710 – Static classes cannot have instance constructors

C# Error

CS0710 – Static classes cannot have instance constructors

Reason for the Error & Solution

Static classes cannot have instance constructors

A static class cannot be instantiated, hence it has no need for constructors. To avoid this error, remove any constructors from static classes, or if you really want to construct instances, make the class non-static.

The following sample generates CS0710:

// CS0710.cs  
public static class C  
{  
   public C()  // CS0710  
   {  
   }  
  
   public static void Main()  
   {  
   }  
}
