Const array of strings [duplicate]

Question

Declare a Const Array

I need an array of const strings in the class. Something like

public class some_class_t {     public const string[] names = new string[4]     {         "alpha", "beta", "gamma", "delta"     }; } 

But this code causes an error:

A constant 'names' of reference type 'string[]' can only be initialized with null.

What should I do?

Declare it as readonly instead of const:

public readonly string[] names = { "alpha", "beta", "gamma", "delta" };
