+Summary: Using static event  causes CS0176
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+If you define a static event in a class and call it from a member function
+it results in compiler error 'CS0176:Static member `...' cannot be accessed
+with an instance reference, qualify with a type name instead'.
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+using System;
+
+namespace Test
+{
+	public class Dummy
+	{
+		public static event EventHandler Test;
+			
+		public Dummy()
+		{
+		}
+
+		public void Fire()
+		{
+			if ( Test != null )
+				Test(this, EventArgs.Empty);
+		}
+	}
+	
+	public sealed class TestClass
+	{
+		public static void Main()
+		{
+			Dummy d = new Dummy();
+			
+			d.Fire();
+		}
+	}
+}
+
+Actual Results:
+StaticEvent.cs(15) error CS0176: Static member `Test' cannot be accessed
+with an instance reference, qualify with a type name instead
+
+Expected Results:
+This source should compile fine. CSC compiles it without problems.
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Always.
