>I agree, but you don't need to assign a value to MyString when you declare it. You can do it later in the code. I don't really see a difference between string and var here. In either case, you're not going to just define the variable. You're always going to assign a value and use it someplace.

I'm sorry Craig,

You have to assign a value when you declare it.

This won't compile

var xxx;   // Implicitely-typed local variables must be initialzed


xxx = "p";
