oic ...
then it should be
public static readonly short[] test = new short[] {1000, 2000, 3000};
as a const member is static

thank you!

any suggestions?

public readonly short[] test = new short[] {1000, 2000, 3000};

If you have a really complicated init that you need to run for a const
member, you can write a static method which returns the result.

private static short[] InitTest() {
short[] res = null;
// do lots of complicated stuff here
return res;
}
public const short[] test = InitTest();

No you can't, because "const" can't apply to arrays. Even if it could,
it *really* couldn't apply to something like the above, as "const"s are
meant to be *compile-time* constants.
