title: c# class reference as opposed to instance reference
body: <p>Can I locally reference a class in C#, instead of an instance of a class? The following code won't compile but, as an example, something like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>void someFunc()
  {
      var a = System.Math;
      var b = a.Abs(4);
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>edit: In the real program it's not the System.Math class and I'm wanting to construct the class and return the constructed value. I didn't think originally that the context in which I wanted to use the class would be relevent, and probably it shouldn't be.</p>
  
  <p>Anastasiosyal has an interesting idea with using a local Delegate to do it.</p>
