Noam,
When you use constants the compiler will embed (substitute) their values
at compile time in the IL , so I presume that would be the equivalent.
I.e.:
const int THIS_VAL = 10 ;
const int MAX_THAT = 255 ;
Then, if you reference THIS_VAL or MAX_THAT in your code like so...
if( myValue >= MAX_THAT ) {}
The compiler will embed the literal value at compile time, i.e.:
if( myValue >= 255 ) {}
I think - but don't quote me - that the only tip-or-trick with this is
that you have to watch what's happening in referencing assemblies when
you make changes to the class that contains the const values.
Cheers,
Darren
