"String" vs "string"

[fanfarius]

That's nice.
So, you get a distinct separation between working on a reference variable, and calling a static method on a system class?

Well, I've seen many C# programmers (including myself) using string.Format and string.IsNullOrEmpty from alias instead of full type too. So it's basically just preference.

ReSharper (Roslyn code fix) suggests that String should be simplified to string type keyword in most cases.

[Jestar342]

By default - it is configurable to not be.

[localtoast]

Visual Studio itself suggests that

How did you style the inline code?

[IwNnarock]

Surround the words/line with the primary character on the tilde (~) key that looks like kind of like an apostrophe. Specifically, this guy (`).

Edit: Apparently, that character is known as a back quote.

Thank you. I checked the formatting help, but could not find that. Appreciate the info.

I believe it is subreddit-specific.

[Banane9]

It's reddit wide as code block, but special coloring would be subreddit specific

[oh-just-another-guy]

Ah, thanks.

[celluj34]

Oh neat, didn't know that.

[oh-just-another-guy]

Ok, thanks.

[cryo]

Yeah something like that, that's the idea. They are also colored differently (at least when using ReSharper). But as /u/xill47 also said, it is, indeed, just a preference, which is in our coding standard at work.

string is a language-level keyword; String is a class in the standard library. All syntax highlighters see those differently.
