Poo - poo. Don't fight structure and make C# a scriptingesque language.

What makes you think this is Scriptingesque?

"var" makes it look scriptingesque (although of course it isn't really since the values really are statically typed).

But you didn't use var in your example so I'm not sure what BDog is referring to.

Incidentally can you use "var" to infer the type of a property or the return value of a method? All the following vars would resolve to int except the last one which would be IEnumerable<int>...

private var foo = 1;
public var Foo {get {return foo;} set {foo = value;}}

public var getFoo() {
doSomeStuff();
return 1;
}

public var getAllFoos() {
for (var i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
yield return i;
}
}

Stuart: Nope. Right now "var" is just for "*local* variable type inference". But it appears like you'd like ot see it elsewhere. I'll definitely bring that feedbak to the language design meetings!
