How can I implement static methods on an interface?

by

Interfaces can’t have static members and static methods can not be used as implementation of interface methods.

What you can do is use an explicit interface implementation:

public interface IMyInterface
{
    void MyMethod();
}

public class MyClass : IMyInterface
{
    static void MyMethod()
    {
    }

    void IMyInterface.MyMethod()
    {
        MyClass.MyMethod();
    }
}

Alternatively, you could simply use non-static methods, even if they do not access any instance specific members.
