You cannot use string interpolation in that way: interpolated strings are a syntactic sugar for the older method using numbered parameters and are evaluated when thw interpolated string is constructed, not when it is used:

C#

using System;

public class Program
	{
	static string name = "???";
	static string xxx = $"Hello {name}!";
	static string yyy = "Hello {0}!";
	public static void Main()
	{
		name = "Paul";
		Console.WriteLine($"Hello {name}!");
		Console.WriteLine(xxx);
		Console.WriteLine(yyy, name);
	}
}

Will give you:

Hello Paul!
Hello ???!
Hello Paul!
