You can use string. string : ------ The string type represents a sequence of zero or more Unicode characters. string is an alias for String in the .NET Framework. 'string' is the intrinsic C# datatype and is an alias for the system provided type System.String. The C# specification states that as a matter of style the keyword ('string') is preferred over the full system type name (System.String or String). Although string is a reference type the equality operators (== and !=) are defined to compare the values of string objects not references. This makes testing for string equality more intuitive. For example: String : ------ A String object is called immutable (read-only) because its value cannot be modified once it has been created. Methods that appear to modify a String object actually return a new String object that contains the modification. If it is necessary to modify the actual contents of a string-like object Difference between string & String : ---------- ------- ------ - ------ the string is usually used for declaration while String is used for accessing static string methods we can use 'string' do declare fields properties etc that use the predefined type 'string' since the C# specification tells me this is good style. we can use 'String' to use system-defined methods such as String.Compare etc. They are originally defined on 'System.String' not 'string'. 'string' is just an alias in this case. we can also use 'String' or 'System.Int32' when communicating with other system especially if they are CLR-compliant. I.e. - if I get data from elsewhere I'd deserialize it into a System.Int32 rather than an 'int' if the origin by definition was something else than a C# system.
