Not a "global" one, but you can use a using directive for a single
file:

using FooBar = System.String;

....

FooBar x = "Hello";

Unfortunately, I am hoping for a "global typedef" equivalent....

No problem -- just put it in an include file.

D'oh! Sometimes I miss C++. Not often, but sometimes.

Hi,

AFAIK this is not possible.
If you are going to create new files with this request you could define a
template and select it when selecting "Add new Item" from the project
explorer.
