String vs string

[Guest]

I am curious about declaring strings in C#. I see strings declared like:
string mystring = "something";
I also see:
String mystring = "something";

What is the difference?

In C#, "string" is a keyword alias for System.String. So they are the same
thing.

string is an alias of String.... there's no difference!

Short answer: No difference.

Long answer:
The actual class name in the BLC is System.String. "string" a C#
language keyword that is mapped to System.String, just like "int" is
mapped to System.Int32, or "object" is mapped to System.Object.
