In C#, how do you tell the difference between bool and Boolean types?

Asked by Gary Willoughby

Solution #1

System is an alias for bool. In the same way that int is an alias for System, so is Boolean. Int32. Here’s a complete list of aliases: Table of Built-In Types (C# Reference).

There isn’t one, in my opinion.

System is essentially an alias for bool. Boolean

There is no distinction between the two; bool is merely an alias for System. Boolean.

I know it’s been a long time, but I came across this website on Google with the same question.

There is one minor difference on the MSDN page as of now.
