If you want to make it readonly

Readonly fields can be initialized (1) in the declaration and (2) in the constructor
A readonly field can be considered as a runtime constant

static class ClassName
{
     static readonly string xxx = "yyy";
     static readonly string zzz = AnotherClass.Method();


}
