22. February 2010 21:43 Developers often make use of constants
to hold static values to use through the class or even through
the application. Sometimes we use de const and sometimes the
static readonly. They seem to do the same but aware of the
differences. The const field is a defined and evaluated at
compile time and cannot be changed at runtime. So therefore a
const member can only be of a value type, an enumeration a
string literal or null. The initialization of classes and
structures is done at runtime with the new keyword os cannot be
used with const. It behaves like a static member but cannot be
decalered like one. public const string OwnerName = "Sottje";
The value of a readonly fields can be initialized at runtime by
declaration of using the constructor. When having multiple
constructors, readonly fields have different values. A readonly
member is not static by default. Make it explicit by using the
static keyword. public readonly string OwnerName = "Sottje";
public class MyClass public readonly str
