CTS(Common Type Specification)

It is a component of .NET framework. CTS represents the datatypes of different languages in a specific format specification.

Example:- A datatype in VB.NET can be represented as "integer", but in C# it is "int". Int in CTS is represented as "int32".

Each of these datatypes map to a common language runtime type. The reserved words used to name the different datatypes are simply aliases for the predefined structure type in System namespace.

The int datatype is an alias of the struct type int32 in the system namespace. The followings are some datatypes and their corresponding CTS specifications,

Boolean------------System.Boolean
Byte---------------System.Byte
Char---------------System.Char
Date---------------System.DateTime
Decimal------------System.Decimal
Double-------------System.Double
Integer------------System.Int32
Short--------------System.Int16
String-------------System.String
Object-------------System..Object
UserDefinedTypes---System.ValueType
