Is it a good way to store commonly used constants to a static class? If not then what can be the efficient way to do the same? Need Suggestions.

Thanks and Regards,

Depending on how 'constant' it is I usually put things into the standard Properties.Settings class for the assembly. This means you can amend the 'constant' on an environment by environment basis.

If it's always going to be same regardless, then a static class containing the constant is as good a way as any - you could expose them as readonly properties but a public constant field will work.

For large blocks of text that are constant...say long paramterised TSQL statments... I've 'repurposed' the assembly resources to as it's much easier to copy and paste multiline text than having to convert to/from a multiline string.

Hope this helps.
