Why doesn't C# allow for global inferred types i.e. using var?
- by BritishDeveloper
I know it can't be done since using var can only be done for local variables. I'm just wondering if anyone has a theory why the C# team thought this should be so. e.g. what would be wrong with this:
public class SomeClass
{
var someString = "hello"; //not cool
public SomeClass()
{
var someOtherString = "hello"; //cool
}
}
If someString is initialised then it is obviously a string just like someOtherString. Why is there one rule for local variables and another for globals?
