Which is recommended: "static public" or "public static"

Question

If you have a class member that is static and public. Would you write static public or public static? I know they are the same. But is there some recommendation / best practice for writing this?

Answer 1

"public static" is far more common, so you might want to go with that just to increase readability for programmers who never stumbled upon "static public".

Answer 2

If you download the Microsoft StyleCop Visual Studio addin, it can validate your source code against the rules Microsoft use. It likes the access modifier to come first.
