A read only member is like a constant in that it represents an unchanging value. The difference is that a readonly member can be initialized at runtime in a constructor as well being able to be initialized as they are declared. For example

public class MyClass
{
public readonly double PI 3.14159;
}

Because a readonly field can be initialized either at the declaration or in a constructor readonly fields can have different values depending on the constructor used. A readonly field can also be used for runtime constants as in the following example

public static readonly uint l1 (uint)DateTime.Now.Ticks;
