OK, I get the picture. "Static" at least allows you to avoid having to 
instantiate a class.
You still have to refer to the "constant" with the name of the class it is 
defined in, I see.

I found I could shorten things down to one-liners by declaring the constants 
as static
fields, like so:

using System;

namespace Project2
{
 class MathConst
 {
  // Shorten this...
  //public static double Pi
  //{
   //get{return 3.1427;}
  //}
  // down to one line by using a static field
  public static double Pi = 3.1427;

  // Shorten this..
  public static string Lie
  {
   get{return "0 = 1";}
  }

  // down to one line by using a static field
  public static string Lie = "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();
  }
 }
}

Many thanks for your help!
