Is static function a right coding practice in this case, performance-wise and resource usage-wise?

Maybe I lost something there, but I didn't see any difference between them. The frm is a local variable, not a static field .

From a pure coding perspective any solution that avoid duplicating code is good. In your case you might want to add a static method to your Form1.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
