umm, you mean something along the lines of:
public static class MyClass
{
public const MyPI = 3.14157f;
}
? That should have been incredibly easy to find.

Don't you need to make that const static?
Chris
First thanks for the response. For learning I'm trying to define a class
that represents complex numbers so I don't think it is quite so simple
(although it may be). For my class I have only one constructor that just
takes two doubles for the real and imaginary parts. What you described I
did find out about easily. I am attempting to define a static class for
doing math functions on complex numbers and I wish to define some simple
constants. My apologies if my question seems silly.

A C# const field is automatically both static and literal.

They aren't compile-time literals, only built-in types can be compile-time
literal.

Ah, thanks very much - this is what I was after. Hopefully before too long
my questions won't suggest I'm quite so simple.

I was not suggesting you were "quite so simple" ;) I was just surprised that
the answer was not easily discovered, and as I see it was simply phrased in
way I misunderstood. By 'simple constants' I assume you meant floating
point, integer etc. numeric constants. Ben pointed out the correct method
for more complex constants (making them readonly and using a static
constructor), I'd agree this is harder to find in the documentation but
didn't realise you meant these ones.
Everyone needs to ask (and shouldn't be afraid to ask) questions, no matter
how simple. But the fact you stated you looked and couldn't find it confused
me :)

Const factor As Double = Math.Sqrt(3) / 6
Error 1 Constant expression is required.
This looks like laziness to me. In SQL Server, functions are given a
distinction between ones that always return the same result for the same
input, and those that can change. All (?) of the functions in Math are of
the former type and should be allowed to evaluate to a constant expression,
just the same as the results of expressions with +, -, /, etc.
