Does anyone know or care to speculate why implicit typing is limited to local variables?
var thingy = new Foo();
But why not...
var getFoo() {
return new Foo();
}

Hi,
I was under the impression that the C# compiler will implicitly type an array based off a type that they can all be implicitly converted to.
The compiler generates
No best type found for implicitly-typed array
public interface ISomething {}
public interface ISomething2 {}
public interface…

Hey there,
I've been developing .NET applications for 4 years. So far, I did not need to create any implicit conversions for the classes I authored.
Could you provide real-life situations when you could not do without creating implicit conversions?
Thank you

Why is it not possible to have implicitly-typed variables at a class level within C# for when these variables are immediately assigned?
ie:
public class TheClass
{
private var aList = new List<string>();
}
Is it just something that hasn't been implemented or is there a conceptual/technical…

I've been chatting with my colleagues the other day and heard that their coding standard explicitly forbids them to use the var keyword in C#. They had no idea why it was so and I've always found implicit declaration to be incredibly useful when coding. I've never had any problems finding out what…

I’ve run into the problem a few times now: How to pre-authenticate .NET WebRequest calls doing an HTTP call to the server – essentially send authentication credentials on the very first request instead of waiting for a server challenge first? At first glance this sound like it should be easy:…

Man I can't believe this. I'm still mucking around with OFX servers and it drives me absolutely crazy how some these servers are just so unbelievably misconfigured. I've recently hit three different 3 major brokerages which fail HTTP validation with bad or corrupt certificates at least according to…

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions…

I’ve written quite a bit about Visual FoxPro interoperating with .NET in the past both for ASP.NET interacting with Visual FoxPro COM objects as well as Visual FoxPro calling into .NET code via COM Interop. COM Interop with Visual FoxPro has a number of problems but one of them at least got a lot…

Here’s a nice and simple path utility that I’ve needed in a number of applications: I need to find a relative path based on a base path. So if I’m working in a folder called c:\temp\templates\ and I want to find a relative path for c:\temp\templates\subdir\test.txt I want to receive back subdir\test…
