Could someone tell me why the following is OK: public String[] test = {"Three","Two","Eight","Nine"};
while the following:
public const String[] test = {"Three","Two","Eight","Nine"};
results in the error "CS0623: Array initializers can only be used in a variable or field initializer. Try using a new expression instead."

It is limitation of C# (maybe even Framework's). This is how it works. const can be used only for simple types. You can use readonly modifier instead (however it is not full alternative). -- Nesterovsky Vladimir
