That's too funny that they specifically write "does not mean variant"..

So I guess if it was a variant, the compiler wouldn't assign it the most appropriate type then. :-)

But, I think I see the difference.. if we have a variant (which I have not used in forever) we can say

variant varTest = "Hey";
varTest = 9;

That would work, correct?

But in the case of c#,

var varTest = "Hey"; // varTest would by type string

varTest = 9; // compiler error.
