To var or not to var
24 Mar 2008 by Nigel SampsonLately I've been seeing a lot of blog examples using the var keyword from C# 3.5 in places where the type name is well known. A good example of this would be at "Comparing Moq to Rhino Mocks" by Phil Haack. In my opinion it makes the code less readable, possibly not from the person in the IDE, but has someone reading a code sample on a blog it removes some of the explicitness around the types being used.
Personally I'll be using the var keyword only when I need to i.e: when using anonymous types.
Edit from 2010: I was wrong, var is awesome :-)
