Not exactly. You can create an alias within a single file with the "using" directive: using System;
using Integer = System.Int32; // alias
But you can't create a true alias, one that extends beyond the file in which it is declared. Refer to the C# spec for more info on the 'using' statement's scope.
Can I define a type that is an alias of another type (like typedef in C++)?
