Declare static class or struct method using expression body in C#

Question

I use immutable readonly fields along with public Expression<Func<>> getters all the time as below.

public class Person
{
    public static Person Named(string surname, string given) { return new Person(surname, given); } // ugly!

    protected Person(string surname, string given) { _surname = surname; _given = given; }

    private readonly string _surname;
    private readonly string _given;

    public string Name => _given + _surname; // cool!
}

I would really like to be able to do that with static methods as above.

I tried different syntax but none worked, ie:

public static Person Named => x,y => new Person(x,y);
public static Person Named = (x,y) => new Person(x,y);
public static Person Named => ((x,y) => new Person(x,y));

Answer 1

The correct way is as follows

public static Person Named(string surname, string given) => new Person(surname, given);

It's worth mentioning that there is no difference in the syntax for instance and static properties/methods.
