Type alias in Csharp

[KANAN14]

I am assigned to work on a project on Microsoft .NET. This requires me to be friendly with Csharp. I have never learnt any programming language in detail and now I have to learn Csharp. I am not able to grasp many of its concepts. I am not getting what is a type alias in Csharp. Please help this is my first project.

The Common Language Runtime designed by Microsoft is said to be the Heart of .Net. There are a few aliases which are there in C# that can be used for intrinsic Common Language Runtime. Alias means another name. We can make use of aliases instead of types and vice-versa. So therefore, we can use System.Int32 inplace of the keyword int.

Csharp is really the most useful language to work on .NET platform application. I too had hard time initially to study the Csharp concepts. A type
alias is simple another keyword for Commmon Language Runtime Type in Csharp.
eg.

string aliaseg = new System.String ('*', 7);

In the above example, we have used string keyword as an alias for Common Language Runtime type System.String

Csharp has a feature that allows its user to make use of an "alias" for a namespace. Thus consider this namespace: MadProps.Windows.Controls. You can make a use of an alias as:
using mpc = MadProps.Windows.Controls;
Thus now you can use mpc instead of using MadProps.Windows.Controls again and again.
