I’m guessing because it means using SomeValue
in the inner class means you get the value assigned to the inner class rather than the outer class.
Consider this:
public static class Super
{
public static class Sub
{
public static string OtherValue {get{return SomeValue;}}
// Remove this line and OtherValue will return Outer
public static string SomeValue { get{return "Inner"; }}
}
public static string SomeValue { get{return "Outer"; }}
}
Currently Super.Sub.OtherValue
will return Inner
but removing the line I’ve commented will cause it to return Outer
