For example, the following snapshot depicts generation of a new local variable:
What I want is to have it generated as bool help, instead of Boolean help.
Is it possible?

@mark, I did a simple test and you can go to Tools>Options>Text Editor>C#>Code Style, and check the option "Prefer intrinsic predefined type keyword when declaring locals, parameters and members" to make it works as you expected, please check this: https://1drv.ms/i/s!Atv5QNuFrncKgyAboSZOHH2Hg43n – Sara Liu - MSFT Jul 28 '17 at 07:04

There are settings to control whether type names or keywords are used in generated code. Look under Tools/Options/Text Editor/C#/Code Style.

First, technically no difference between bool and Boolean in c#, because bool is the alias for Boolean class.
But you can change code generation setting through tools/options in VS.
You will see that second check box is unchecked in your view. so, make it checked to get auto generated code with alias , instead of class name.
