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

It makes no difference in practice and in time you will adopt your own convention. I tend to use the keyword when assigning a type, and the class version when using static methods and such:

int total = Int32.Parse("1009");
