A workaround to this limitation is to define a class which itself exposes the literal value you are interested in. For example:

public interface ILiteralInteger
{
   int Literal { get; }
}

public class LiteralInt10 : ILiteralInteger
{
   public int Literal { get { return 10; } }
}

public class MyTemplateClass< L > where L: ILiteralInteger, new( )
{
   private static ILiteralInteger MaxRows = new L( );

   public void SomeFunc( )
   {
      // use the literal value as required
      if( MaxRows.Literal ) ...
   }
}

Usage:

var myObject = new MyTemplateClass< LiteralInt10 >( );
