Use of String and string in coding examples

[Jymms]

Beginners find it very confusing when the examples of code uses 'String' and when put into Visual Studio, the IDE suggests they use 'string' instead.

Describe the solution you'd like Some comment stating that 'String' is the proper variable to be using.

Additional context https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.componentmodel.inotifypropertychanged.propertychanged?view=netcore-3.1

One would think this page is updated because it's exampling the new core 3.1 but in many cases it uses String when it should be string.
Examples: private string customerNameValue = String.Empty; private void NotifyPropertyChanged([CallerMemberName] String propertyName = "")

Not easy to explain to kids after teaching them string <> String.

To clear up your confusion, both should work the same. It's a matter of coding style. However, as Visual Studio suggested, string is the more common convention.

I opened https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet-api-docs/pull/4602 to fix this.

Not sure why you think I'm confused, I know that string is an alias of System.String. I'm attempting to help make the docs easier to use for beginners that shouldn't need to read private string customerNameValue = String.Empty; then have the IDE tell them String can be simplified by using "string", which then turns into 30 mins of attempting to find out why they should use string instead of String with a lot of confusing explanations for beginners.
