What is the opposite of static?

terminology

I was just wondering what is the opposite of static? Im looking for a word or terminology to describe it.

eg:

#region Members  #region Static  private static Settings _Instance = null;  #endregion Static  #endregion Members  #region Properties  #region Static  /// <summary> /// Gets the current instance of the settings class /// </summary> public static Settings Instance {     get     {         if (_Instance == null)         {             _Instance = new Settings();         }          return Settings._Instance;     } }  #endregion Static  #region Non Static?  #endregion Non Static?  #endregion Properties 

If Im seperating my code in to static and non-static regions what should I call my non-static region?

is it non-static? or is there an actual word to descripe methods and properties that are not static

"Instance" usually - "instance methods", "instance variables" etc. Non-static works too, if you find that simpler.

I'm not sure I'd really put all those regions in though...

Non-static would be correct. The word "instance" is more commonly used to describe a particular occurrence of a object or class in memory.
