>>Most of the time the type can be inferred from the right side. In those cases var is a keyword meaning the inferred type. One big advantage is that if sometimes you are unsure about the type (but it can be inferred) then you use "var" then hover your cursor on var to see the inferred type. You are free to type the type yourself or let it be inferred.

>I read an article in MSDN Magazine the other day about the new version of VB. There is a ton of stuff like that, not only type inference but elimination of some minor annoyances like always having to use continuation characters. The author, who is on the VB team at Microsoft, said they listened to their customers who have been asking them to let the compiler "just figure it out."

Yes they are listening to:) I am hoping even one day the editor might come up to LinqPad's level
(For Example type dtnrea to get to DataTableNewRowEventArgs or select and execute selection).
