Here are the sample constant definitions once more:
{zcode:slice}
const bool AppendByDefault = true;
const byte LowerNibble = 0x0f;
const string Advice = "Don't Panic!";
const short TheAnswer = 42;
const double PI = 3.1416;
enum Fruit { Apple, Pear, Orange };
const Fruit FavoriteFruit = Pear;
{zcode} |
Here are the generated definitions for these constants:
{zcode:cs}
public abstract class AppendByDefault
{
public const bool value = true;
}
public abstract class LowerNibble
{
public const byte value = 15;
}
public abstract class Advice
{
public const string value = "Don't Panic!";
}
public abstract class TheAnswer
{
public const short value = 42;
}
public abstract class PI
{
public const double value = 3.1416;
}
public enum Fruit { Apple, Pear, Orange }
public abstract class FavoriteFruit
{
public const Fruit value = Fruit.Pear;
}
{zcode} |
As you can see, each Slice constant is mapped to a class with the same name as the constant. The class contains a member named value that holds the value of the constant.

The mapping to classes instead of to plain constants is necessary because C# does not permit constant definitions at namespace scope. |
