int v. Int32, string v. String

[Mark]

Is int to Int32 as string is to String?

If that's the case, then the following is logically equivalent:

//equivalent
int MyInt = 5000;
Int32 MyInt2 = 5000;

//equivalent
string MyString = "slick";
String MyString2 = "slick";

Correct? Is int then essentially an alias for Int32?

Thanks in advance.

Yup.

Yup.

Correct? Is int then essentially an alias for Int32?

Exactly. (Well, System.Int32 to be precise.)

Absolutely correct. Just an alias.

 

[Cowboy \(Gregory A. Beamer\)]

int is a C# keyword that maps to the Int32 structure in the Framework.
string is a C# keyword that maps to a String class in the Framework. Make
sense?
