Object is the closest thing to it, since every thing in .NET - including
primitive data types - is an object, a variable of object type can point to
any data type.
You should however get used to using strongly defined types like string, int
etc and use object sparingly, for good practice if nothing else. Hard to
bebug a huge list of objects.
