AFAIK, 'const' is translated, in IL, into 'public static literal'. Should work either way.

.class public auto ansi beforefieldinit EmailTypes
      extends object
{
      .method public hidebysig specialname rtspecialname instance void .ctor() cil managed
      {}

      .field public static literal string SalesOrderAck = string("SalesOrderAck")
      .field public static literal string SalesQuoteAck = string("SalesQuoteAck")
}

public static const string SalesOrderAck = "SalesOrderAck" ;

generates a compiler error.

I'm not a big fan of the login components that come with ASP.NET 2.0 and the whole user management that comes with it.

It does not fit my goals. They create some kind of access database where you store the information. I could not figure out how to use objects to store the information, or a custom framework to get the information or store it...


I usually program them by myself, since it is not a big work.

Did you create the class as:

EmailTypes et = new EmailTypes();

1.the source code is not safe enough(easy to decompile).

i am prepare study J2EE, and throw .Net into a garbage bin(trash can).

I have a class library being accessed via a ASP.Net app.  In the class library I have this class

public class EmailTypes
{
   public const string SalesOrderAck = "SalesOrderAck" ;
}

The when the ASP.Net calls a into another class in the class library which uses this value I find that EmailTypes.SalesOrderAck is null!  How can this be, it's a constant, it should always be valid!  Does anyone know when this value should get assigned?

If I change the definition to public static readonly string it works.

Thanks

Edit: Just wish the battery would have lasted longer, seems like a good platform for a Plutonium power source. Oh well, looking for one of those for my laptop too... and maybe next time they can figure a way to pull in all that methane and set up a self-sustaining power supply.

Could of been spent on cancer/diseases research.

We have the technology to send crafts to outerspace and land on planets and moons, but we can't cure illnesses that kill people everyday.
