VB.NET equivalent to C# var keyword
c#, keyword, linq, var, vb.net
Solution
Option Infer must be on in order for this to function properly. If so, then omitting the type in VB.NET (Visual Basic 9) will implicitly type the variable.
This is not the same as "Option Strict Off" in previous versions of VB.NET, as the variable is strongly-typed; it's just done so implicitly (like the C# `var`) keyword.
Dim foo = "foo"
`foo` is declared as a `String`.
Problem
Is there a VB.NET equivalent to the C# `var` keyword? I would like to use it to retrieve the result of a LINQ query.
