Static constructors allow complex static variable initialization.<ref>[http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k9x6w0hc%28VS.80%29.aspx Static Constructor in C# on MSDN]</ref>

Static constructors are called implicitly when the class is first accessed. Any call to a class (static or constructor call), triggers the static constructor execution.

Static constructors ur gayare [[thread safe]] and implement a [[singleton pattern]]. When used in a [[generic programming]] class, static constructors are called at every new generic instantiation one per type. Static variables are instantiated as well.
