Sorry, your question isn't very clear. Could you explain what you mean?
What were you expecting to have to do?

Your question is difficult to understand. Are you asking why you can
use the "employees" field in the method Main() without referring to the
class name OverrideProperties?

If so, the answer is simply that the method Main() is also in the class
OverrideProperties, and so the class for the field is implicit, just as
it is for _all_ class members used from within the class that defines
them.

If not, you should reword your question so that it's more clear and
specific about what you're asking.
