C# reminder of the day

Static data is not shared among constructed generic types.

That is, the final line of output from the following program:

using System;

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
        NonGeneric.PrintCount(); // "Called 1 time."
        NonGeneric.PrintCount(); // "Called 2 times."

        Generic<int>.PrintCount(); // "Called 1 time."
        Generic<string>.PrintCount(); // ?
    }

    public static void DoPrintCount(int count)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Called {0} time{1}.",
            count, count > 1 ? "s" : "");
    }
}

class NonGeneric
{
    public static void PrintCount() { Program.DoPrintCount(++count); }
    static int count;
}

class Generic<T>
{
    public static void PrintCount() { Program.DoPrintCount(++count); }
    static int count;
}

Is “Called 1 time.”
