Resharper: vars

Question

Why does Resharper want you to change most variables to var type instead of the actual type in the code?

Answer 1

To answer your question ... because someone at JetBrains decided that was the "preferred" way.

To change it follow Jon's answer. Additionally you can also change ReSharper's behavior when doing Code Cleanup (which I use a lot) under the Code Cleanup section in ReSharper options. Set to "Use Explicit Type".
