Probably going to depend a lot on what programming language "boolean" is. If by System.Boolean you mean some .NET language then you would have found your answer if you had just read the documentation.

Solution 1

bool is a compiler alias of System.Boolean, int is System.Int32 etc, so when you type just "bool", it is converted to "System.Boolean".

Also I found the answer to your question in seconds by googling "bool vs system.boolean", read the FAQ and please do your own basic research before asking a question.

Given the text "dimension a variable" and "as boolean", I suspect the OP is using VB.NET, not C#. :)

Richard is correct, I'm working in VB.net, and I did do basic research but couldn't find an answer which is why I came here, no need to jump to assumptions. There is no "bool" but rather "Boolean" (I get that they're the same word but that's not the point...) which is perhaps why your search yielded a helpful answer and mine haven't been. F-ES answered my question with the first line; I simply wanted to know if the compiler read them in in any minutely different way. Thank you for your answers
