Compiler Error CS0709

Visual Studio 2008

'derived class': cannot derive from static class 'base class'

A static class cannot be instantiated or derived from. That is, a static class cannot be a base class of any other class.

The following sample generates CS0709.

Copy 
// CS0709.cs
// compile with: /target:library
public static class Base {}
public class Derived : Base {}   // CS0709
