If I get the idea of Static classes right, then it would mean that that code Paul M posted...

C# Code:
  1. static class CarTypeInfo

  2. {

  3.     public static string GetCarType() { return "cartype"; }

  4.     //etc..

  5. }
Can simply be used like this?

C# Code:
  1. CarTypeInfo.GetCarType();
Without needing to make an instance of the class, like so?

C# Code:
  1. CarTypeInfo myCar = new CarTypeInfo;
(I'm rather new to C#, so this code might be off, but you'll get the idea).
