String or string?
-
They are, just read the documentation! Both implement IComparable and IComparable<T>. They implement some other interfaces too, like IEquatable and IConvertible.

When writing my C# code I was in the habit of using string (all lowercase) for strings declarations, etc. and String (capitalized) for method calls such as String.Empty and String.Format just as a sort of aide memoir that I was calling an object method. As I started to create String extension methods I reviewed this habit of mine and decided this was a pointless differentiation and switched to just using string all the time. At the same time I decided that my using Int32 for methods such as Int32.TryParse and just int in declarations, etc. was also pointless and perhaps confusing to others and so switched to using int all the time instead. It all compiles to the same IL code anyway so it was just a matter of style really. What do you think?

Given all the confusion, I think I'll just override String and string, in future, with an array (which is all a string is meant to be, anyway).

Nope, never. It's just an alias.
string

The string type represents a string of Unicode characters. string is an alias for System.String in the .NET Framework.:thumbsup:

What I find amusing is that VS2015 says that
String.Emptycan be simplified tostring.EmptyRiiight. MarcV.A.P.O.R.ware - Visual Assisted Programming / Organizational Representation Learning to code with python is like learning to swim with those little arm floaties.

I did not mean this Kind of comparable (IComparable etc) :-D I meant compare the two Scenarios :laugh:
I know what you meant, I just to chose to interpret it differently ;p

For what it's worth, the C# style guidelines on MSDN say to use the lower case.
-
Actually, that's where the problems begin. Lower and upper-case primitives in Java do completely different things.

If the usage is correct, that make me think why the VS Intellisense still display "name can be simplified", "Show potential fixes", IDE0001 C# Name can be simplified. Isn't that "Show potential fixes" = there is a bug and here is the potential fix? After all VS is Microsoft product right? ;P ;P
