What is the difference between uint and System.UInt32?

Is there a difference, or are they just aliases?

uint is a C# data type and

System.UInt32 is a .Net data type(or the data types which CLR has).

The C# data type is translated in to .Net data type when the program is run. All the other programming languages'(that work in .Net) data types will be translated into equivalent .Net data types when run. All the data type of the programming languages including C# must adhere to CTS(Common Type System).

Nothing. uint is just an alias for System.UInt32.

They are aliases but:

enum A : uint
{
    // This code compiles
}

enum A : UInt32
{
    // Compile error
}
