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

In my experience it's been a convention thing. I'm not aware of any technical reason to use int over Int32, but it's:

1. Quicker to type.
2. More familiar to the typical C# developer.
3. A different color in the default visual studio syntax highlighting.

I'm especially fond of that last one. :)
