Can I use typedefs in C#?

No, C# has no direct equivalent of the C++ typedef. C# does allow an alias to be specified via the using keyword: using IntList = System.Collections.Generic.List; but the alias only applies in the file in which it is declared. A workaround in some cases is to use inheritance: public class IntList : List { } The pros and cons of this approach are discussed here.
