Static constructors are introduced with C# to initialize the static data of a class. CLR calls the static constructor before the first instance is created.

The static constructor has the following features:

  • No access specifier is required to define it.
  • You cannot pass parameters in static constructor.
  • A class can have only one static constructor.
  • It can access only static members of the class.
  • It is invoked only once, when the program execution begins.
