Why internal static string is not accessable outside the class

Question

I have a class Defined as follows:

class Foo
    {
        internal string IString;
        internal static string IstaticString;
        public Foo()
        {
            IstaticString = "static";
            IString = "non - static";
        }
    }

i am creating it's instance in the main function as like the following, in this time IString is accessible through the object where as IstaticString is not accessible. can any one explain the reason for this?

static members are not accessible from instances. `Foo.IstaticString ` should work — ASh, Sep 11 '15 at 09:06

Static fields accessible from type not from instance. This Foo.IstaticString should work
