Should I use int or Int32

Question

In C#, int and Int32 are the same thing, but I\'ve read a number of times that int is preferred over Int32 with no reason

Answer 1

They both declare 32 bit integers, and as other posters stated, which one you use is mostly a matter of syntactic style. However they don't always behave the same way. For instance, the C# compiler won't allow this:

public enum MyEnum : Int32
{
    member1 = 0
}

but it will allow this:

public enum MyEnum : int
{
    member1 = 0
}

Go figure.
