Can any one explain me when should I declare a method as static?

I know that static method can be called without creating the object for the class. But when should we declare a method to be static? what advantage do we gain technically by declaring a method as static?

Can anyone give me an example where I can do without declaring a method as static?

Static methods can be referenced without the object of the class containing the method like you said. At the same time static allows only one instance of the method or the variable with the prefix static.
But a static member in C# can't be marked as override, virtual or abstract.
