>>Didn't work for me - I was unable to access this constant from another class - but I think I know what I was doing wrong - I was trying to access it using class name instance instead of the Type instance. Because when I got similar error using that property I switched to Database.Property instead of database.Property (where Database is the class name while database is the class instance name).
