There is no typedef per se in C#, however you can get close with the using
keyword. The most common use of the using keyword is in a using Directive
which “Creates an alias for a namespace or imports types defined in other
namespacesâ€
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/csref/html/vclrfusingdirective.asp)
You’ve probably already seen this with ‘using System.Xml;’ and so on at the
top of a .cs... you can also use it to define your own alias ala:
using MyInt = System.Int32;
And within the scope the above is defined, MyInt will be treated as
System.Int32.
The problem with that the alias is only valid in the sourcefile where is is
declared.
