What is the difference between the string and String

use of string to declare types - variables, properties, return values and parameters. This is consistent with the use of other system types - int, bool, var etc (although Int32 and Boolean are also correct).

use of String when using the static methods on the String class, like String.Split() or String.IsNullOrEmpty().

Nothing really,
In C# the type keywords actually are equivalent for the types.
Example :
int = System.Int32
short = System.Int16
string = System.String.
They have the keywords because they are easier to remember and programmers coming from other languages would also be familiar with these types.

Answer for your question
string is an alias for String in the .NET Framework.
Strings are immutable--the contents of a string object cannot be changed after the object is created.

Hi,
String.Split() can also use in string.Also nothing cause when you use static methods with string /String.

string :
The string type represents a sequence of zero or more Unicode characters. string is an alias for String in the .NET Framework.
'string' is the intrinsic C# datatype, and is an alias for the system provided type "System.String". The C# specification states that as a matter of style the keyword ('string') is preferred over the full system type name (System.String, or String).
Although string is a reference type, the equality operators (== and !=) are defined to compare the values of string objects, not references. This makes testing for string equality more intuitive. For example:

String :
A String object is called immutable (read-only) because its value cannot be modified once it has been created. Methods that appear to modify a String object actually return a new String object that contains the modification. If it is necessary to modify the actual contents of a string-like object

Difference between string & String :
the string is usually used for declaration while String is used for accessing static string methods
we can use 'string' do declare fields, properties etc that use the predefined type 'string', since the C# specification tells me this is good style.
we can use 'String' to use system-defined methods, such as String.Compare etc. They are originally defined on 'System.String', not 'string'. 'string' is just an alias in this case.
we can also use 'String' or 'System.Int32' when communicating with other system, especially if they are CLR-compliant. I.e. - if I get data from elsewhere, I'd deserialize it into a System.Int32 rather than an 'int', if the origin by definition was something else than a C# system.
