Efficient 'constant' char arrays?

Are these declarations compiled into the object or executed at runtime?

// easy to write
char[] NumericChars = "0123456789.,".ToCharArray();

// cumbersome to type
char[] NumericChars = {'0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','.',','};

TIA, Ian

Converted to array of char at runtime however you can make a const like version of this using a static readonly var that is initialized once and thereafter is constant..
// cumbersome to typ
char[] NumericChars = {'0','1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','.',','}

Compiled... And alternatively this is compiled if you don't mind using Unicode than type "char"

const string NumericChars = "0123456789.,"
