is there equivalent in recent versions of c#, or still not present? there particularly wrong using static in vb.net?

c# not back upwards , won't because somehow violates object programming thought of state beingness part of object, not method.

of course of study 1 can syntactic sugar, , he/she event quite right. still, looking through class code, expected description of state variables fields of class. otherwise should find in each , every method.

so can seen high-level decision , millage may vary here.
