Static Class Constants (VB 2005)

Is there any way to create a constant in a class that can be used both with
an instantiated object and without. For example:

dim ClassConst as string = myClass.ConstantString

dim myObj = new MyClass
ClassConst = myObj.ConstantString

Inside the class MyClass

Class MyClass

public const ConstantString = "Some Constant String"

End Class

In Beta 2, ConstantString was available in either of the above cases without
complaint. In the RTM version, I can't do both. I don't want to turn off
the warning as doing so may actually introduce another bug in my code later
because I didn't see the warning.

Thanks,
Mike.
