Both are premitive data type but 'string' is for C# and 'String' for .net framework

There's no difference.

The C# type 'string' is just an alias for the .NET type 'System.String'.

So, as long as you include the following using directive in your program:

using System;

then 'string' and 'String' can be used interchangeably.
