convert variable to constant

Question

Can seems to be strange, but is there a way to declare or convert variable to constante something like :

string myVariable = "MyString";
const string myConstant = myVariable ;

I need this to answer to my problem: linq to sql startwith performance indexed columns

thanks

Answer 1

no there is no way to do this for Const Const values are burned directly into the call-site at compile time, Instead you could make it readonly and assign it in the constructor

something like

string myVariable = "MyString";
readonly  string myConstant="test" ; 
public MyClass()
{ 
myConstant= myVariable ;
}
