Well, actually, there is no implicit definition, but q is still strongly typed. The difference is that its type is inferred from the assignment. In this case, it would be an array or ArrayList. But there is something pretty different here, and this is that the equivalent of a VFP cursor is not a relational thing anymore, but an object, and you can even get a hierarchical object (a list of lists), inheriting from a previously defined class or (new in C# 3), defined in place as an anonymous type (something very handy).

There are more simmilarities to Delphi (a language that a guy called Anders something desinged) that to VFP. The important thing for me is that it resolves part of the VFP domain space pretty well (or at least it seems by now).

See you,
