C# Tip: do NOT use nameof to give constants a value - Code4IT

In C#, nameof can be quite useful. But it has some drawbacks, if used the wrong way.

I kind of agree with you but use this as my preferred approach:

const string User_Table = "User_Table";

You get the power of a constant but the value won't change if someone renames it.

I'm totally fine with it - the const name can be in whatever format. But its value should not depend on how we named it.
