Is there a way to group parameters of the same type to make the code neat?

Say I have this method:

public void UpdateEmployee ( String empFirst, String empLast, String empAddress, 
String empType, String empPhoneNo, String empSalary, DateTime? dob, String empDepartment)

Is there a way not to repeat the type String all the time in the params?

Thanks

There's no way to do exactly what you want (That I know of) in C# but you can try records:

public record Employee(string First, string Last, string Address, string Type);

That way you can write your code like this:

public void UpdateEmployee(Employee emp)
{
}

And allows you to re-use it!

There's also a way to create alias, but it's not recommended:

using s = System.String;

This way you can write your code like this:

public void UpdateEmployee(s empFirst, s empLast, s empAddress,
        s empType, s empPhoneNo, s empSalary, DateTime? dob, s empDepartment)
{
}

Again, not recommended but good to know.
