In Java I can write:

public final static MyClass foo = new MyClass("foo");

Is there any equivalent in C#?

The closest thing (not exactly the same, final has other meanings too) for Java final fields I can think of is readonly:

public static readonly MyClass field = new MyClass("foo");

If you have a primitive type (string, int, boolean), you may want to use const instead.

public const string MAGIC_STRING = "Foo";
