I get the following compilation error at the class name.
Extension method must be defined in a non-generic static class
I am not using normal class. What could be the reason for this. I don't know and don't want to use extension methods.

It is compulsion that the Extension method must be in a Static class only so that only one Instance is created. For example, if you place the following in ASP.Net page it will not work. Though error will not come, but you will not see the method available.
Extension methods are defined as static methods but are called by using instance method syntax. Their first parameter specifies which type the method operates on. The parameter is preceded by the this modifier.
An extension method must be a static method. An extension method must be inside a static class -- the class can have any name. The parameter in an extension method should always have the "this" keyword preceding the type on which the method needs to be called.
Static and non-static generic methods are allowed, as well as generic class constructors.
As requested, here is my comment as an answer:
Without your code there isn't much we can do. My best guess is that you accidentally typed "this" somewhere in a parameter list.

Sample for extension method
public static class ExtensionMethods {
public static object ToAnOtherObject(this object obj) {
// Your operation here
}
}
