Shared variables, properties and events

[MarkusJ_NZ]

Hi, I am just reading up about using shared variables, properties and events when creating classes in .NET.

The book shows me how do to this but I would like to be given some real life examples of when and why I would make a variable shared..

The basic example they give is a shared variable counter that displays how many objects you have created from a given class.

That's all very nice but a pretty lame example I think. What else would I use a shared variable for when defining a class??

Thanks

The purpose of using Shared scope is when the member doesn't relate to an instance. So use it with anything that doesn't require an instance of the object.
