ROSLYN.PERFORMANCE.CA1802 : Use literals where appropriate (C#)

See Roslyn-Detected C# Warning Classes for more information.

Summary

A field is declared static and read-only (Shared and ReadOnly in Visual Basic), and is initialized by using a value that is computable at compile time. Because the value that is assigned to the targeted field is computable at compile time, change the declaration to a const (Const in Visual Basic) field so that the value is computed at compile time instead of at runtime.

This check corresponds to Roslyn rule CA1802. For full rule details, see the Microsoft website: CA1802.
