Can I make an array of classes in C#? (I don't want an array of objects) -

i have tried create array of classes, first of regular classes, of static classes, in both cases, hasn't worked. hasn't compiled.

class program {      static class : bunch1 { }      static class b : bunch1 { }      class aa : bunch2 { }      class bb : bunch2 { }      class bunch1 { }     class bunch2 { }      static void main(string[] args)     {         bunch1[] bunch1s = new bunch1[] {             a,b         };          bunch2[] bunch2s = new bunch2[] {             aa,bb         };     } } 

the compilation error has been aa "is 'type' used 'variable'" (same error message class - or b or aa or bb)

i can see (at least non static classes), can

        bunch2[] bunch2s = new bunch2[] {             new aa(),new bb()         }; 

but don't want instances of classes.

i don't want array of objects.

added

a practical scenario of why.

i have bunch of classes each static field (public static char c), , i'd set field.

class { public static char c; }  class b { public static char c; } 

....

i say

a.c='x'; b.c='p'; c.c='w'; d.c='v'; 

but i'd rather say

char[] mychars= new char[] {'x','p','w','v'};  //  create bunchofclasses array or list consisting of classes a,b,c,d (how, don't know).   for(int i=0; i<5;i++)  bunchofclasses[i].c= mychars[i]; 

unfortunately, can't have static contract/constraint classes have been grouped static members generalize them , access static members abstractly. have been put language, wasn't.

nevertheless, can still similar reflection, won't anywhere near tidy aiming for.

class { public static char c; } class b { public static char c; } class c { public static char c; } class d { public static char c; }  var mychars = new char[] { 'a','b','c','d' };  var types = new[] {    typeof(a),    typeof(b),    typeof(c),    typeof(d) };  (int = 0; < types.length; i++) {    var type = types[i];    var field = type.getfield("c", bindingflags.public | bindingflags.static);    if (field == null)       throw new invalidoperationexception("no such field.");     // pass null instance static members, since there's no instance    field.setvalue(null, mychars[i]); } 

note in example, c field. you'd need use different method (getproperty, getmethod) different kind of member.
