Static method to get object from database

Question

I'm using Entity Framework to get data from the database. Now I have a hard time wrapping my head around static methods. I have an Users class and have this method defined in this User class:

public static User Get(int userId)
{
    using (DbContext ctx = new DbContext())
    return ctx.Users.FirstOrDefault(x => x.UserId == userId);
}

Then I will use it like User currentUser = User.Get(1) and make changes to it before I save it again. Will this cause problems if there are more than 1 request virtually at the same time?

Potentially it will cause issues, especially when you attempt to update. There is not enough information here to give you a specific answer. Review locking for the database product you are using and EF documentation.
