Question

In C++ I’d often create a code file containing constants, enums, #define-s, macros etc.

What’s the best practice for that in C#? Do I create a static class and fill it with that data? or is there some other way ?

Answer 1

You don’t need a static class for enums – they can be top-level (meaning: namespace level). Yes, you need a class for constants (and a static class would suffice), but I would tend to have multiple classes – one per intent. There is no need to cram them all together.

In C#, any #define only apply to that file, so there is not much point having a class for them (put them in the project / build-script instead). And macros don’t exist.
