object reference is required for the nonstatic

[anis_b]

I get this error when i call jam() inside Main()

"An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property"

It goes away if I add the "static" keyword before the jam definition, i.e. "static void jam()" instead of "void jam"

May I know the reason why so ?

==========

using System;

namespace WindowsApplication3
{
public class Class6
{
static void Main()
{
jam();
}

void jam() // this doesnt work
//static void jam() // this works
{
}
}
}
