Compiler Error CS0198

Fields of static readonly field 'name' cannot be assigned to (except in a static constructor or a variable initializer)

A readonly variable must have the same static usage as the constructor in which you want to initialize it. For more information, see Static Constructors.

The following sample generates CS0198:

// CS0198.cs  
class MyClass  
{  
   public static readonly int TestInt = 6;  
  
   MyClass()  
   {  
      TestInt = 11;   // CS0198, constructor is not static and readonly field is  
   }  
  
   public static void Main()  
   {  
   }  
}
