Can I access a class without an object

[skindia]

Hi & Hello

I am a dot net novice and this is my first thread in this forum. Please help me

Is it mandatory to create an object for every class if we want to access something written inside the class? or can we access anything inside the class without creating an instance/object?

Thanks in advance.

Not all the time its required. If u have an static class ; u can access it without creating an instance

"Public Shared Class XYZ" can contain methods that can be accesed without instantiation.
