CodeDom question -- still unanswered from 2002!

[Mr. Mountain]

Hi.

I am using CodeDom to autogenerate some files.

How do you declare a member variable as readonly? I
cannot find any suitable member of the MemberAttributes
enum.

Thanks in advance,
Mountain

Are you generating CIL or some other higher language?

 

[Mr. Mountain]

My primary interest is in generating C#.

Are you generating CIL or some other higher language?

Do you mean a constant?

See the example here:

Thanks, but I wasn't referring to a const.
ReadOnly is different.

However, I now realize that CodeDom is far from being able to represent all
the features of C# or VB.NET. Previously I had the mistaken impression that
I could do anything in C# with CodeDOM. Now I realize that CodeDOM can't
even do switch statements, etc (without using snippets). Therefore, I'm sure
it cannot do readonly fields.

This leaves two choices:
1. use code snippets and/or
2. use one of the alternative code generation techniques mentioned in the
new book I just received (Code Generation in Microsoft .Net).
