How to define constants in Visual C# like #define in C?

Asked 2009-11-27T09:57:32.377

In C you can define constants like this

#define NUMBER 9

so that wherever NUMBER appears in the program it is replaced with 9. But Visual C# doesn't do this. How is it done?

c# constants

public const int NUMBER = 9;

You'd need to put it in a class somewhere, and the usage would be ClassName.NUMBER

In C# the #define preprocessor directive cannot be used to define constants in the way that is typically used in C and C++.
