== Why is this an issue?

include::../description.adoc[]

=== Noncompliant code example

[source,csharp]
----
public class Foo
{
    private string name = "foobar"; // Noncompliant

    public string DefaultName { get; } = "foobar"; // Noncompliant

    public Foo(string value = "foobar") // Noncompliant
    {
        var something = value ?? "foobar"; // Noncompliant
    }
}
----

=== Compliant solution

[source,csharp]
----
public class Foo
{
    private const string Foobar = "foobar";

    private string name = Foobar;

    public string DefaultName { get; } = Foobar;

    public Foo(string value = Foobar)
    {
        var something = value ?? Foobar;
    }
}
----

=== Exceptions
