C# primitive types Vs. .NET types

[Guest]

Please, could anyone tell me what differences is in using C# data types or
..NET types. For example in what situations I would have to use .NET types
instead of C# types. Lets take C# bool and .NET Boolean for example. The help
is very much appreciated.

Thanks.

There's no difference. The C# type names map directly to their CLR
counterparts and are simply just different (i.e. C++ like) names.

Hi Peter,

There are no C# primitives. C# bool is an alias for System.Boolean

The C# type names are just shorthands for the .NET names.

Peter,

All dotNet languages use for the managedcode the same "value" types from the
current framework from dotNet.

To make it a more General answer.
