There's no project-wide equivalent of typedef.

You can use using directives on a per file basis, e.g.

using FooBar = System.Console;

...

FooBar.WriteLine("Hi");

It's also common to simply derive a class when dealing with generic instances:

class MySpecialCollection : Dictionary<MyKeyType, MyValueType> {
// add constructors as required
};

This is self-documenting and reduces the potential for typing errors.

//C++
typedef int NUMBERS;

//C#
using NUMBERS = System.Int32;
