Force Visual Studio 2010 to use String instead of string

Question

When Visual Studio 2010 generates code (example: select option to implement an interface), it generates "string" instead of "String", even if I have defined the interface with "String" parameters.

Is there a way to get VS2010 to always generate "String". My preference is to use the .NET type names, not the C# aliases for the types.

I also have looked for this feature, neither VS2010 and resharper contain this feature... — Roger Far

Just curious :-) I means you also use only "Object", "Int32", "Single", etc...? — Simon Mourier

string is an alias of String so technically there is no difference between the two.

I'm sure the OP is aware of that. I think the question is about style ("Use .net typenames, not aliases") and how to make VS generated code conform to your style guide.

From the MSDN info about string "The string type represents a sequence of zero or more Unicode characters. string is an alias for String in the .NET Framework." So it's the same String and string.

See you
