C# getter vs readonly

Question

Is there any difference between the following?

class C
{
    // One:
    public static readonly int ValueAsAMember = 42;

    // Two:
    public static int V         


        

Answer 1

Yes, there is an advantage:

If the value gets changeable at any point in the future (e.g. in a future version of your code), in a way that it is, for example, time-dependent, you can support that in the read-only property without changing the public interface of your class.

If you have to replace a readonly field with a property, you will have to recompile any other assemblies that use your class.
