More on System Types vs Language types

Geeze – nearly 3 years of working in .NET and I just noticed this today – ’cause I went looking for it.

For the super curious (and this hardly satisifes anything beyond that), how do you know when you are using a system type vs. a “keyword“? It’s easy with VB’s Integer (keyword), or C#s int vs. Int32, but what about String and System.String?

But now I see it….

Note the text color of the System types vs. the text color of the language keywords. Subtle. Not earth shattering, but still interesting. In a why is the sky blue kind of way…
