Unable to get Const variable after creating an instance

Question

Here is my c# class code

 public class ConstReadOnly
{
    public const int cV = 10;
    public readonly int rV = 40;
}

Now when i try to create an instance of this class i'm not getting the const variable cV.What may be the reason.

const are implicitly static, you can access them through class name like:

ConstReadOnly.cV

Because constants are implictly static.

If you want to use them, use the class name as the qualifier.

 int fromConstInt = ConstReadOnly.cV;
