Note

As described in Chapter 10, the C# language also supports the construction of generic types and generic

members.

Intrinsic CTS Data Types

The final aspect of the CTS to be aware of for the time being is that it establishes a well-defined set

of fundamental data types. Although a given language typically has a unique keyword used to

declare an intrinsic CTS data type, all language keywords ultimately resolve to the same type

defined in an assembly named mscorlib.dll. Consider Table 1-2, which documents how key CTS

data types are expressed in various .NET languages.
