In the "C# Coding Standard" by Juval Lowy available from http://www.idesign.net, the recomendation is made to use the C# predefined types instead of the aliases in the System namespace, e.g.:

  • object NOT Object
  • string NOT String
  • int NOT Int32

What is the benefit of this? How do they differ? I have followed this advise in my own coding but never knew how they differed.

    I think using the ‘blue’ int, string, etc.. might be a little more intuitive to read. Otherwise, I use the class when calling a static method on it i.e. Int32.TryParse()
