C# Preprocessor

[I am Sam]

I want declare some const strings in my application but I don't want to
repeat the constents in every page I write in my codebehind I was wondering
if there is some kind of directive or preprocessor I can declare at the top
of my codebehind that will import the constents from a seperate file.

I hope I'm using the correct language I am not sure if it is understandable
but I have to try. Thank you in adavance to anyone that will reply.

Sam:
C# only has a:
#define symbol

which can only be used by other preprocessor commands, unlike C/C++'s
#define symbol value

To achieve what you want, create a class and use a const:
public class Globals{
public const string ApplicationName = "SomeThing";
}

and you can then use the global via:

Globals.ApplicationName

this way you aren't repeating the content every single place..
