Readonly kind of variable declared somewhere by defined somewhere else?

[John Dalberg]

I would like to declare variables that can't be modified (like readonly)
however I want to declare them in a single class so I can always refer to
the same class whenever code uses them. However I want to give them values
in constructors in different classes in different files.

What's the best way to accomplish this functionality?

Agreed. I still don't think you should be doing what you want to do,
but...

public class Constants // Bad name if they change during runtime
{
public static readonly Name1 = A.ComputeName1( );
public static readonly Name2 = B.ComputeName2( );
// etc
}

(You could also make them properties rather than public fields.)

I used a module to do this, I know someone declared it seemed to be the
"Old" way - Although I did not wish to make them read only and only I wanted
to persist my variables.
I think that this is one way you could do it..

I hope this helps.
