Initialization Order of Static Fields in Static Class

by

Yes, they will, please see clause 15.5.6.2 of the C# specification:

The static field variable initializers of a class correspond to a
sequence of assignments that are executed in the textual order in
which they appear in the class declaration (§15.5.6.1). Within a
partial class, the meaning of “textual order” is specified by
§15.5.6.1. If a static constructor (§15.12) exists in the class,
execution of the static field initializers occurs immediately prior to
executing that static constructor. Otherwise, the static field
initializers are executed at an implementation-dependent time prior to
the first use of a static field of that class.

That being said I think it would be better to do the initialization inside a static type initializer (static constructor).
