Diff between String and string

Hi all When i am declaring String type variable. What shaould i use String OR string Is this effect on performance. Thanks and regards, Amit Patel
Even I'm not sure! When I once asked this to one of the MCTs that I know, he said its better to use "String" for declaring string type variables, but he wasn't able to give me any reasons either! But, I rarely use String/string type variables. I use StringBuilder for all string manipulations.

Hi String is a .net data type string is a C# data type I think that there is no difference. My Reason: right click on the string and select "Go To Definition" from string's context menu it refers to String definition

StringBuilder is usefull when you are doing a large string ( inside loops ) operation. For Small operation its always
preferableuse string not stringBuilder.Abhijit Jana | Codeproject MVP Web Site : abhijitjana.net Don't forget to click "Good Answer" on the post(s) that helped you.

Apart from having that sort of coding guidelines, I see no reason of doing that.

I just use StringBuilder when I know that a specified string is going to be modified more than 2 times after the original assignment, otherwise I use general String/string. I guess its just general preference!
