C# private, static, and readonly

Question

I was reviewing some code for log4net and I came across this.

private static readonly ILog logger = LogManager.GetLogger(typeof(AdminClient));

Answer 1

static does not mean that it cannot be accessed from other files - this isn't C. The static keyword means that the logger object is a class variable instead of an instance variable, so even when accessed from different objects of that class, they will all refer to the same logger object.
