There is nothing taboo about writing static methods. They are good in solving purpose.
But there is an option -- Singleton. That will keep you safe. As there is only 1 object of the class for which you wish to invoke methods. so it's same as calling static methods. (well, syntax is diff ;-) You may change the behaviour of class in NO time if you wish there should be more objects of that class. makes sense? -navjot |-----Original Message----- |From: Jerry Jalenak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] |Sent: Wednesday, July 09, 2003 8:59 PM |To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' |Subject: [OT] Use of Static Methods | | |One of my programmers asked me whether or not it is OK to define helper |methods as 'static' - and I realized that I didn't know the answer.
