  From MSDN: A const field can only be initialized at the declaration of the field. A readonly field can be initialized either at the declaration or in a constructor. Therefore, readonly fields can have different values depending on the constructor used. Also, while a const field is a compile-time constant, the readonly field can be used for runtime constants as in the following example: public static readonly uint l1 = (uint) DateTime.Now.Ticks; Hope this helps, Appan
