Certainly you don't have to instantiate a class instance. Just declare your
constants as static, read-only properties, and the classname starts to
function like a logical grouping.

using System;

namespace Project2
{
 class MathConst
 {
  public static double Pi
  {
   get{return 3.1427;}
  }
  public static string Lie
  {
   get{return "0 = 1";}
  }
 }

 class Class
 {
  /// <summary>
  /// The main entry point for the application.
  /// </summary>
  [STAThread]
  static void Main(string[] args)
  {
    Console.WriteLine(MathConst.Pi.ToString());
    Console.WriteLine(MathConst.Lie);
          Console.WriteLine((10 * MathConst.Pi).ToString());
    Console.ReadLine();
  }
 }
}
