DateTime.Today and "static readonly"

DateTime.Today is static readonly. So supposedly it should never change once (statically) instantiated.

However -- if I fire up an applica开发者_如何学Gotion and ask for the date at 11:59pm and then again at 12:01am, it will correctly give me different values each time i call it, right?

Let's say I wanted to create a static readonly "DateTime.TwoDaysFromNow" (just a representative example) that behaves the same way. .NET will tell me I can't b/c it's a readonly remember! How can I make it work?

Much appreciated, -Alan.

It's a static readonly property, not a static readonly field:

public static DateTime Today
{
    get
    {
        return Now.Date;
    }
}

public static DateTime TwoDaysFromNow
{
    get { return DateTime.Today.AddDays(2); }
}

You can tell DateTime.Today is a property from Microsoft's Syntax of it:

public static DateTime Today { get; }
