Why is Array.sort called shared

[Tony Johansson]

Hello!

I'm reading in book and it says the following.

They say that
Array.Sort(ar);
is a shared/static method

This sort method is indeed a static method which is correct but
what does they mean when they say that it's shared ?

VB.NET uses the keyword Shared to declare static members.

the C# keyword "static" is in VB "shared"
