How to make a class where all fields/properties are const by default?

Question

it's possible to make a class in C# where all fields and properties are const by default?

Imaginary example *

public class foo : const /* or readonly */ { public int baa = 3; }

What do you mean "by default"? Do you mean that the type of class requires all members to be constants? — Steven Doggart, Jun 06 '12 at 15:21
@SteveDog, I guess he wants them to be const unless specified otherwise. — Ash Burlaczenko, Jun 06 '12 at 15:22

It seems you just want every attribute to have some default value which could be altered at run-time. — Bedasso, Jun 06 '12 at 15:28

No, it's not.

You can make a class static though which forces all members to be static.

Ex:

public static class Constants
{
    public const int SomeId = 123;
    public const string SomeName = "foo";

    public static readonly DateTime myDateTime = new DateTime();

    public string notConstant = "test"; //does not compile
}
