In C# can you define an alias to a value tuple with names?
I know it's possible to define aliases in C# with the using keyword. e.g. using ResponseKey = System.ValueTuple<System.Guid, string, string>; However, is it possible to define one using the new syntax for value tuples? using ResponseKey = (Guid venueId, string contentId, string answer); This syntax does not appear to work. Should it? This has been requested, and recorded in the Roslyn repo on Github . However it received a mixed reception there, and the proposed record types , would more than cover this requirement. The issue was closed in the Roslyn repo but is now being tracked in the C#
