    difference between String and string

    I notice in my code that is String is typed with an uppercase S it is
    coloured light blue in the IDE and if it is typed in the lowercase
    string then it is displayed in dark blue.

    Can someone explain why this is, and what the difference between these
    two versions of string is please.

      string is a compiler shortcut for System.String. They're the same thing.

          string is a C# language keyword. It's usage translates to System.String,
          which is the String you are referring to. These are absolutely he same in
          C#. You can also use the System.String constructors using "string" notation
          as follows: string s = new string('a', 10); or call the static methods of
          the System.String class using the "string" keyword.
