How do I declare a var variable with Roslyn?

问题

I've got the following piece of code, but I can't find how to get the var TypeSyntax. Any ideas?

Syntax.LocalDeclarationStatement(                   
    declaration: Syntax.VariableDeclaration(
        type: Syntax.PredefinedType(Syntax.Token(SyntaxKind.VarKeyword)),
        variables: Syntax.SeparatedList(
        Syntax.VariableDeclarator(
            identifier: Syntax.Identifier(name)))
        )
    )
);

this fails with an Argument exception that says: "keyword"

I'd use:

Syntax.LocalDeclarationStatement(
    declaration: Syntax.VariableDeclaration(
        type: Syntax.IdentifierName(Syntax.Token(SyntaxKind.VarKeyword)),
        variables: Syntax.SeparatedList(
            Syntax.VariableDeclarator(
                identifier: Syntax.Identifier(name)))));

Jb Evain's answer is correct; I just thought that I would add that the reason for the error is because "var" is not a predefined type. A predefined type is something like "int" or "string".

The syntactic analyzer does not know whether or not you have a class named "var" in scope; "var" is treated not as a predefined type, but rather as just another name for just another type. Only if we cannot find a type in scope named "var" does the semantic analyzer then decide, oh, this must be an implicitly typed local.

The reason for this is because "var" was added in C# 3, and there might be C# 1 or 2 programs that use "var" as the name of a type. We did not want to break those programs.

Not a precise answer to your question, but another (and simpler) way to achieve the same affect would be to use Syntax.ParseStatement:

Syntax.ParseStatement("var " + name);

To simplify answering questions like these, I've written a tool called Quoter that can generate syntax tree API calls for any given C# program:
