const correctness in C#?

Question

The point of const-correctness is to be able to provide a view of an instance that can't be altered or deleted by the user. The compiler supports this by pointing out when you break constness from within a const function, or try to use a non-const function of a const object. So without copying the const approach, is there a methodology I can use in C# that has the same ends?

Answer 1

Use private readonly variables in your class, and do not provide any public setters for these variables.

This will make the variables const (unless you change the values within a class method). Generally, you will set the values in the constructor.
