Are static members of generic classes shared between types

Question

I'm trying to create a generic class which will have some static functions based on the type. Are there static members for each type? Or only where there is a generic used? The reason I ask is I want a lock object for each type, not one shared between them.

So if I had

class MyClass<T> where T:class {     static object LockObj = new object();     static List<T> ObjList = new List<T>(); } 

I understand that ObjList would definitely have a different object created for each generic type used, but would the LockObj be different between each generic instantiation (MyClass<RefTypeA> and MyClass<RefTypeB>) or the same?

Answer 1

Just check for yourself!

public class Static<T> {     public static int Number { get; set; } }  static void Main(string[] args) {     Static<int>.Number = 1;     Static<double>.Number = 2;     Console.WriteLine(Static<int>.Number + "," + Static<double>.Number); } // Prints 1, 2 

Answer 2

It will be different for each T. Basically, for all different T you will have different type and members are not shared between different types.
