I wonder why it is not possible a method parameter as var type like
private void myMethod(var myValue) {
// do something

You can only use
varfor variables inside the method body. Also the variable must be assigned at declaration and it must be possible to deduce the type unambiguously from the expression on the right-hand side.In all other places you must specify a type, even if a type could in theory be deduced.
The reason is due to the way that the compiler is designed. A simplified description is that it first parses everything except method bodies and then makes a full analysis of the static types of every class, member, etc. It then uses this information when parsing the method bodies, and in particular for deducing the type of local variables declared as
var. Ifvarwere allowed anywhere then it would require a large change to the way the compiler works.You can read Eric Lippert’s article on this subject for more details:
