Why can't I reference a static member from an inner class in C# ?

I have a static class

namespace MyNameSpace{

    public static class MyStaticClass {

        public static string myStaticMember = "";

    }
}

I can reference myStaticMember in another class like this:

string varString = MyStaticClass.myStaticMember;

except if MyStaticClass is an inner class of the other class.

Why ?
