problem declaring a constant [RESOLVED]

[Andy]

I'm just learning c# and I'm trying to convert a class I wrote in vb.net to help me learn.

problem is, I'm stuck at the beginning. can someone tell me what is wrong with the syntax here?...

using System;
using dart.powertcp.telnet;


namespace TicketingLibrary
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Summary description for Calix.
    /// </summary>
    public class Calix{
        private Segment  Segment;
        private string adsl ;
        private string Day = Now.Month & "-" & Now.Day;
        Const string c_Login = "act-user::Trouble:::Vanhalen1" & Chr(13);
        Const string c_logout = "canc-user" & Chr(13);
        Const String c_cstat = "rtrv-cstat-adsl::";
        Const String c_pm = "rtrv-pm-adsl::";
        Const String  c_FEND1Day = ":::,,FEND,,1-day,";
        Const String  c_FEND15min = ":::,,FEND,,15-min,";
        Private String strSync(1);
        Private String  strSNR = "";
        Private String strESL15 = "";
        Private String strSESL15 = "";
        Private String strESL = "";
        Private String strSESL = "";
        Private String strUASL = "";
    
        public Calix()
        {
            //
            // TODO: Add constructor logic here
            //
        }
    }
} 

I've got squiggly red lines under all but the first two declarations. I suspect the Const lines are causing problems.

any ideas?
