# Documentation: DTS.Common.Core.DTSConstants

## 1. Purpose
This module provides a centralized container for constant values used within the DTS system. Specifically, it defines compile-time constant file paths for application configuration files. It exists to decouple configuration file locations from the main application logic, although the current implementation suggests a development-centric or hardcoded approach.

## 2. Public Interface

### Class: `DTSConstants`
**Type:** `public static class`
**Namespace:** `DTS.Common.Core`

This class exposes the following public constants:

*   **`CustomConfigPath`**
    *   **Signature:** `public const string`
    *   **Value:** `C:\dev\DTS.Viewer\bin\Debug\DTS.Viewer.exe.config`
    *   **Description:** Defines a hardcoded absolute path to a specific configuration file.

*   **`ViewerConfigPath`**
    *   **Signature:** `public const string`
    *   **Value:** `C:\dev\DTS.Viewer\bin\Debug\DTS.Viewer.exe.config`
    *   **Description:** Defines a hardcoded absolute path to the viewer's configuration file.

## 3. Invariants
*   **Compile-time Evaluation:** Because the fields are defined as `const string`, their values are embedded directly into calling assemblies at compile time. Changing these values requires recompilation of all dependent code.
*   **Value Equality:** As currently defined, `CustomConfigPath` and `ViewerConfigPath` always hold identical string values.

## 4. Dependencies
*   **Internal Dependencies:** None. The file contains no `using` statements and relies only on default system types.
*   **External Consumers:** Any project referencing `DTS.Common.Core` may access `DTSConstants`. Specific consumer modules cannot be determined from this file alone.

## 5. Gotchas
*   **Hardcoded Absolute Paths:** Both constants point to `C:\dev\...`. This code will likely fail or behave unexpectedly on any machine that does not have this exact directory structure. It appears to be configured specifically for a local development environment.
*   **Debug Build Reference:** The paths explicitly reference `\bin\Debug\`, implying these constants are not intended for production release builds without modification.
*   **Redundancy:** `CustomConfigPath` and `ViewerConfigPath` are currently identical. It is unclear if this is intentional (two names for the same file) or a copy-paste error where `CustomConfigPath` should point to a different location.
*   **Naming Suppression:** The file includes a ReSharper annotation `// ReSharper disable InconsistentNaming` to suppress naming warnings, likely regarding the "DTS" prefix or capitalization rules.
