[C#] Add new reference document: readonly vs const

This issue describes how to add a new C# reference document: readonly vs const.

Description

The goal of the new reference document is to explain the different between (static) readonly fields versus const fields, which is confusing to many students.

The document should explain how the two approaches are different, taking into account:

Based on the aforementioned differences, the document should provide guidance on when to use which approach and why.

I can help here! What would you like to see for instance?

ErikSchierboom commented 4 years ago

@Kavignon great! Shall I assign the issue to you?

As for what is expected, this issue lists all the information we'd like to see in the document. The document itself could look like this document.

Kavignon commented 4 years ago

Sounds good to me!

Kavignon commented 4 years ago

Assign it to me!

@Kavignon Done.

Can we include readonly structs and members in this exercise.

ErikSchierboom commented 4 years ago

@mikedamay This is not an exercise but a reference document. Something like https://github.com/exercism/v3/blob/master/languages/csharp/docs/code_style.md or https://github.com/exercism/v3/blob/master/languages/csharp/docs/memory_allocation.md, which are contents we can use in exercises. Originally, we considered linking to these documents, but just including their contents in the exercise might be best at first.
