Welcome to this discussion about the current state and the future of www.csharpcodingguidelines.com and it's source at https://github.com/dennisdoomen/csharpguidelines
For a nice introduction on the rationale and background of my initiative, consider reading https://github.com/dennisdoomen/csharpguidelines/blob/master/Guidelines/0001_Introduction.md

Hello
Maher Jendoubi
@MaherJendoubi
I would like to discuss AV1520 about the using of var keyword since C# 3.0
Dennis Doomen
@dennisdoomen
Go ahead
Maher Jendoubi
@MaherJendoubi
I use var when the type name is too long
Dennis Doomen
@dennisdoomen
It's a heated topic at my current project as well.
Maher Jendoubi
@MaherJendoubi
ok
It is better to invest in the name of the variable when using var
Dennis Doomen
@dennisdoomen
The primary reason for this guideline is to make sure that developers don't return too much from a method. The analogy is often to not return the entire truck if you only need a package.
Maher Jendoubi
@MaherJendoubi
I mean not only for the very obvious type
Dennis Doomen
@dennisdoomen
I understand. Now imagine somebody is reviewing your code through Github. Will he or she be able to determine the type involved?
Maher Jendoubi
@MaherJendoubi
in the most of cases I would say yes
var retListPlanning = new ObservableCollection<PlanningArea>();
Dennis Doomen
@dennisdoomen
I can't judge those cases from my side, but if that's indeed the truth, you're fine.
That's fine.
Maher Jendoubi
@MaherJendoubi
could you guess the type of retListPlanning?
Dennis Doomen
@dennisdoomen
Obviously ;-)
Maher Jendoubi
@MaherJendoubi
ObservableCollection<PlanningArea> retListPlanning = new ObservableCollection<PlanningArea>();
which is the better :smile: ?
my point of view is to avoid coding like this: ObservableCollection<PlanningArea> x = new ObservableCollection<PlanningArea>();
Dennis Doomen
@dennisdoomen
That's the purpose of AV1520 as well.
Maher Jendoubi
@MaherJendoubi
but I suggest to use var
and invest more in the naming type
aha
Dennis Doomen
@dennisdoomen
Check out the examples https://github.com/dennisdoomen/csharpguidelines/blob/aae8a8c386533957cfebe5efcc91fbadfc11ec78/Guidelines/1500_MaintainabilityGuidelines.md#only-use-var-when-the-type-is-very-obvious-av1520-
Maher Jendoubi
@MaherJendoubi
when you said obviously have you some examples for non obvious please?
Dennis Doomen
@dennisdoomen
From the guideline: var myfoo = MyFactoryMethod.Create("arg");

@vansha
Hi, I almost always use var without a deep thinking on it. Although was against it early days on. Rationale - isn't it somehow correlated with Hungarian notation? Why it should be that important to understand exact type for the variable.
Dennis Doomen
@dennisdoomen
@vansha I use it during code reviews to detect some developer exposing way too much from a method and causing unnecessary coupling between classes. When that developer uses var, it will be more difficult to spot.
Maher Jendoubi
@MaherJendoubi
@vansha if you like abstraction then var do the same thing with types
