Hi, I'm trying to learn some C#. Can somebody help me with explaining
why the values Frank and Sinatra has to be declered static, (check
code below)? If they aren't, It wont compile correctly:

(24,41): error CS0120: An object reference is required for the
nonstatic field, method, or property 'MyOwn.MyClass.value'
(24,62): error CS0120: An object reference is required for the
nonstatic field, method, or property
'MyOwn.AnotherOwn.AnotherClass.value'

Thanks for taking your time helping me with this!
Markus

using System;
using System.Threading;

namespace MyOwn
{
        public class MyClass
        {
                public static string value = "Frank";
        }

        namespace AnotherOwn
        {
                public class AnotherClass
                {
                        public static string value = "Sinatra";
                }
        }
}

class MyApp
{
        public static void Main()
        {
                Console.WriteLine("My name is {0}",
                    MyOwn.MyClass.value
,MyOwn.AnotherOwn.AnotherClass.value);
 
                Thread.Sleep(100000);
        }
}
