Basically, I have the following:
protected static readonly FieldInfo SpecialField = FindSpecialField();
FxCop is complaining to me though that I should not make a field readonly if it is mutable because the members can be changed. Are FieldInfo and PropertyInfo immutable or mutable. Basically, can I suppress this message?
FieldInfo itself looks immutable, but derviations of it may or may not be. For example, the FieldBuilder can be modified. Same holds for PropertyInfo.
So, if you know it’s always a FieldInfo obtained from reflection, then chances are you will be safe.
