    Hello everyone, When using "int", it is always 32-bit? No matter whether we make build option as Any CPU, x86 and x64? thanks in advance, George

      Just to add to the pot: The C# keyword int is a compiler accessor to the System.Int32 type. You may use the below code to validate this as an excercise on each platform:

      typeof(int) == typeof(System.Int32)

      The above code will return true.

        If you want a larger (or smaller) integer, use Int64 or Int16. An int is as big as the compiler defines it to be.

            no. visual c++ 1.2 (and turbo pascal) defined an int as 16-bit. Starting with Visual C++ 2.0, an int was 32 bit.

              Yes. In C# an int is always 32 bits. The keyword int is an alias for the type System.Int32.

              Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.
