int v. Int32, string v. String

[Mark]

Is int to Int32 as string is to String?

If that's the case, then the following is logically equivalent:

//equivalent
int MyInt = 5000;
Int32 MyInt2 = 5000;

//equivalent
string MyString = "slick";
String MyString2 = "slick";

Correct? Is int then essentially an alias for Int32?

Thanks in advance.

Yup.
//equivalent
string MyString = "slick";
String MyString2 = "slick";
Yup.

Exactly. (Well, System.Int32 to be precise.)

Absolutely correct. Just an alias.

int is a C# keyword that maps to the Int32 structure in the Framework.
string is a C# keyword that maps to a String class in the Framework. Make
sense?
