Implicitly Typed Local Variables

submitted by

iansuttle.com — C# 3.0 introduces implicitly typed local variables by way of the keyword “var”. The use of var allows one to assign a number of different types to a variable without explicitly stating that variable’s type. Var is actually not a type at all, but a keyword which instructs the compiler to infer the most appropriate type based on the value or expression to the right of the equals sign.

Lots of lazy ass programmers are going to be loading their code with var's. I can hardly wait until I have to use a framework with something like this in it:
LazyObject.PerformSomeFunction(var zzz);

Lol - I do agree there's a risk of that as noted in the article. Luckily VS maintains knowledge of the underlying type, but readability would certainly be degraded.
