Hi everybody,

I was thinking that instead of accessing my connection string through configuration manager in several procedures of our global static class I'll make it a const property. So, based on another existing const I put

   private const string TelephoneRegex = @"(1\s*[-\/\.]?)?(\((\d{3})\)|(\d{3}))\s*[-\/\.]?\s*(\d{3})\s*[-\/\.]?\s*(\d{4})\s*(([xX]|[eE][xX][tT]| )\.?\s*(\d+))*";
    private const string ConnectionString = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["FCCMSConnectionString"].ConnectionString;

at the very top of the class.

However, I'm getting this error

Error 1 'Util.ConnectionString' is of type 'string.' A const of reference type other than string can only be initialized with null

Do you know if this is a wrong approach? What can I do to use this as a property?

Thanks in advance.
