C# is a statically typed language, which means that the compiler needs to know about all members of a class during compilation, so that it can lay them out properly in memory. You can add static methods to a class using LCG[^], a new feature in .NET 2.0

No, that is not possible in .NET. What are you trying to accomplish? For questions like this there usually is an object oriented solution that works just as well, or simetimes even better.

Can't we achieve this using CodeDOM?

No. You can use CodeDom to create source code, which you can compile if you want, but that can only be used to create a new assembly, you can't change an existing class at runtime.
