Make Implicit

• Jun 07, 2019

Converts an explicitly-typed variable declaration to an implicit one.

Availability

Available from the context menu or via shortcuts:

• when the caret is on a variable declaration, provided that the variable is initialized to a value of an integral type.

Note

This refactoring is only available in .NET Framework 3.0 or higher (C# or VB).

Notes

• This refactoring is the functional opposite of Make Explicit.

Example

C#

│string a = "Hello World";

VB.NET

Dim │a As String = "Hello World"

Result:

C#

var a = "Hello World";

VB.NET

Dim a = "Hello World"
