Whether static class is a reference type or a value type? it would be really helpful if any one gives a good explanation

A class is a reference type. Note that every array is a reference type, even if its members are value types. Since every reference type represents an underlying .
Structs are value types, while classes are reference types, and the runtime deals with the two in different ways. When a value-type instance is created, a single space in memory is allocated to store the value. Primitive types such as int, float, bool and char are also value types, and work in the same way.
A static class is basically the same as a non-static class, but there is one difference: a static class cannot be instantiated. In other words, you cannot use the new operator to create a variable of the class type.
In C#, classes and interfaces are reference types. Variables of reference types store references to their data (objects) in memory, and they do not contain the data itself.
Class is always a reference type irrespective of whether it is static or non-static. On top, a static class is "neither in memory" as it can not be instantiated, so it is impossible to actually HOLD a reference to it. The point is practically moot if you can not sensibly have a variable of that said type.
i think what you are referring to are members of static class.. and they are reference types if they are actually objects otherwise they are simply value types. a static class inself cannot be passed around as for as i know. try running this code
They are value type and reference type. The difference between the value type and reference type is that a value type holds a data value within its own memory space while a reference type holds a pointer to another memory location that holds the data. 1.Value Type and Reference Type, TutorialsTeacher.com.
