    Difference between object and Object

    Hi,

    I'm aware of the differences between string and String, but wondered what
    the differences were between object and Object?

      Exactly the same as the differences between string and String :-)

          There are no differences between object and Object, nor string and
          String - *except* that you don't need "using System" with string/object.
          "object" and "string" are simply aliases for System.Object and
          System.String.

          (There might be other resolution foibles if you have a local class named
          String, where "string" would refer to the .NET string, not your local type).

              My understanding was that string with a lower case s was a primitive type
              (stored on the stack etc and not an object) and that string with a capital S
              was an object and stored on the heap.

              I might be wrong on that though.

                  In .NET, there is no string/String debate. They are *exactly* the same
                  thing; every .NET string(==String ) is a reference-type, stored on the heap.

                      I'm happy with that :-)

                      Thanks for the info.
