# What is CTS in .Net ?

CTS stands for Common Type System. This has a set of rules which state how a data type should be declared, defined and used in the program. This describes the data types that are to be used in the application.

We can design our own classes and values by following the rules that are present in the CTS. The rules are made so that the data type declared using a programming language is callable by an application that is developed using a different language.
