Answer / bhuvana

Read Only and Constant are like variables whose value once
given (initialized) cannot be changed.

The difference between Read Only and Constant is that
Constant can only be initialised at the time of declartion
but
Read Only field can be initialised at the time of
declartion or in constructor.

Answer / xiaof

A const field can only be initialized at the declaration of
the field. A readonly field can be initialized either at
the declaration or in a constructor. Therefore, readonly
fields can have different values depending on the
constructor used. Also, while a const field is a compile-
time constant, the readonly field can be used for runtime
constants as in the following example:
public static readonly uint l1 = (uint) DateTime.Now.Ticks;

Answer / nithya

A readonly can be initialized only the time of variable
declaration or only in the constrator,Apart from that we
cannt modify anywhere in our program.

But Constant must be initialized at the time of declaration.
And this value cannt be changed in constractor level also.
