Is it possible to access an instance variable via a static method?

by

Yes, it is possible to access an instance variable from a static method without using a parameter but only if you can access it via something that is declared static. Example:

public class AnotherClass
{
    public int InstanceVariable = 42;
}

public class Program
{
    static AnotherClass x = new AnotherClass(); // This is static.

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(x.InstanceVariable);
    }
}
