Let's see what we know about constructors:
1. They can be scoped at a variety of levels. There is the public
constructor, which is the most common. You can also make the constructor
private, which is useful for the Singleton pattern.
2. They can be static (Shared in VB.NET) or instance. In other words, you
can set up a constructor to set properties that apply to all instances of
the object.
3. They can be overloaded, including the possibility of different scopes on
each one.
4. They can be chained, where one calls another, to avoid doing the same
work in multiple places.
I am not sure what a "read only" constructor means, however.

So, is there something called a Read-Only constructor in the .NET
framework? Someone mentioned the term to me and I've been trying to
make sense out of it. I didn't get a link on the Web even.
