C# has a number of keywords such as: string sbyte byte int long etc. which are just aliases for types in the System namespace of the .NET Framework: string -> String sbyte -> SByte byte -> Byte int -> Int32 long -> Int64 As long as you have the using directive: using System; in your program. the C# keywords and their corresponding .NET Framework types are interchangeable and which you prefer is just a matter of taste. Personally I prefer to use the C# keywords as they give C# some character of its own and are unambiguous. There's nothing to stop you declaring a class of your own called 'String' but you can't create a class called 'string'. You can create one called @string but it's not something anyone would do in practice. You also have to remember that there are a large number of languages targetting .NET and some of these may need to use the .NET framework type names if they don't have a corresponding type of their own.
