In C#, should I use string.Empty or String.Empty or “” to intitialize a string?

Question

In C#, I want to initialize a string value with an empty string.

How should I do this? What is the right way, and why?

string willi = string.Empty;
         


        

Answer 1

I use the third, but of the other two the first seems less odd. string is an alias for String, but seeing them across an assignment feels off.
