MVC Examples use of var
asp.net-mvc, var
Solution
Jared Parsons talked about this in his blog I don't agree with his conclusions (as my comment there indicates), but this article should explain why it's used so much.
Problem
Maybe I live in a bubble, or am just too new, but I was wondering if anyone else has noticed the heavy use of 'var' to declare variables instead of a specific type in many of the MVC examples by Microsoft? Is there a purpose for this, or is it the "in" thing to do now, or just personal style?
