Someone I could describe what happens (from the perspective of memory management) when a constant is defined within a method in. Net?

A constant is basically a named memory location in a program that holds a single value throughout the execution of that program. It can be of any data type- character, floating-point, string and double, integer, etc.
'const' variable is stored on stack. 'const' is a compiler directive in "C". The compiler throws error when it comes across a statement changing 'const' variable.
A constant is a named memory location which temporarily stores data that remains the same throughout the execution of the program. The type of a variable indicates what kind of value it will store. The name of a variable is known as its identifier.
A constant is a value that cannot be altered by the program during normal execution, i.e., the value is constant. When associated with an identifier, a constant is said to be “named,” although the terms “constant” and “named constant” are often used interchangeably.
Constants are usually resolved at compile time and inserted into the instruction sequence directly. Example:
const int A = 10;
int b;
int i = A + b;
would effectively be compiled into:
int i = 10 + b;
For strings they are being interned and put on the heap.
