C#'s const vs. readonly

A quick synopsis on the differences between 'const' and 'readonly' in C#:

' const':

• Can't be static.
• Value is evaluated at compile time.
• Initiailized at declaration only.

' readonly':

• Can be either instance-level or static.
• Value is evaluated at run time.
• Can be initialized in declaration or by code in the constructor.
