private const string s = "" yields null?

[Miha Markic]

Hi,

Did anybody notice that the following declaration of a member const

public class Tubo
{
private string const def = "";
}

is alyways null instead of empty string ("")?

Is this a bug or feature or something else?

Thanks,
Miha

Duh, it is only the debugger reporting it as null.
It is correctly set to "".

string.Empty is the preferred way to do it but "" will work as well

Hi William,

string.Empty won't work for constant declaration.
