Software Technology Tips

In C# We cannot use a Keywords as an Identifier since the former is predefined and has special meaning to the compiler whereas an identifier is user-defined. However, we can use a keyword as user-defined identifier by appending "@" (at) or "_" (underscore) characters.

For example: if we write

Class class //Conflict error

It throws an error. Here we can place @ or _(underscore) before class to use it as class name.

Class @class / _class //No error

In the same way we can also write as

int @class;

@class = 5;

Like this we can use @class or _class as identifier.
