Integer versus Int32

[Sheila Jones]

Hi,

Does anyone know if Integer will always be a synonym for System.Int32, or
could a 64-bit version of VB.Net map it to System.Int64 instead? Thanks.

It will allways map to a 32 Bit type.

It will probably always map to Int32, even on 64-bit runtimes. But
since the VB team has quite a poor history when it comes to language
stability, you can never know for sure.

Yes, it will (hopefully) always map to 'Int32'.

Integer always maps to System.Int32, whether you're on a 64bit platform or
not.
