yes it is same
Cornstarch, or cornflour, is the starch of the maize grain, commonly known as corn. It is also ground from the endosperm, or white heart, of the corn kernel. It has a distinctive appearance and feel when mixed raw with water or milk, giving easily to gentle pressure but resisting sudden pressure (see Non-Newtonian fluid). It is usually included as an anti-caking agent in powdered sugar (10X or confectioner's sugar). For this reason, recipes calling for powdered sugar often call for at least light cooking to remove the raw cornstarch taste.

Cornflour and corn starch are the same thing. It's extracted from maize flour. (Indian corn)

According to Wiki Answers they are NOT the same?!? Which is true then?

More importantly - whether the same or not - can one be substituted for the other?
