Sorry about this dumb question, but i´ve recently found out that you can declare a String or string variable at C#. I would like to know the difference between them, which one is used at specific situations, etc. Thanks for the help and for your time.

string is like an alias for String. – kelsier Nov 29 '13 at 05:49

You could've considered googling for such a question and would've got about a million answers. Also, learning basics in .Net would help. – Shakti Prakash Singh Nov 29 '13 at 07:50

There is no difference String is the Class name and string is the alias.
The generaly rule of thumb that I have followed is that if you declare a variable use the alias.
string foo = "bar";
If you call a method, use the class name
String.IsNullOrEmpty("");
It is exactly the same for the following"
- Boolean and bool
- Int32 and int
- Double and double
etc
