 # Constants (C# Programming Guide)
 
-Constants are immutable values which are known at compile time and do not change for the life of the program. Constants are declared with the [const](../../language-reference/keywords/const.md) modifier. Only the C# [built-in types](../../language-reference/builtin-types/built-in-types.md) (excluding <xref:System.Object?displayProperty=nameWithType>) may be declared as `const`. User-defined types, including classes, structs, and arrays, cannot be `const`. Use the [readonly](../../language-reference/keywords/readonly.md) modifier to create a class, struct, or array that is initialized one time at run time (for example in a constructor) and thereafter cannot be changed.

Only the C# [built-in types](../../language-reference/builtin-types/built-in-types.md) may be declared as `const`.

  C# does not support `const` methods, properties, or events.
