Can there be stand alone functions in C# without a Class?

Question

In C/C++, I have a bunch of functions that I call from main(), and I want to rewrite this in C#. Can I have stand alone functions(methods) or do I have to put them in another class? I know I can have methods within the same class, but I want to have a file for each function/method.

Like this works:

using System.IO; using System;   class Program {     static void Main()     { House balls = new House(); balls.said();      } }     public class House     {         public void said()         {             Console.Write("fatty");             Console.ReadLine();          }     } 

But then I have to create an instance of House and call said(), when in C I can just call said().

Answer 1

For reference, I want to add the using static addition of C# 6 here.

You can now use methods of a static class without having to type the name of that class over-and-over again. An example matching the question would be:

House.cs

public static class House {     public static void Said()     {         Console.Write("fatty");         Console.ReadLine();     } } 

Program.cs

using static House;  class Program {     static void Main()     {         Said();     } } 

Answer 2

No. Make them static and put them in a static utility class if they indeed don't fit within any of your existing classes.
