Declare a variable using a Type variable

Question

I have this code:

Type leftType = workItem[LeftFieldName].GetType();

I then want to declare a variable of that type:

leftTy         


        

Answer 1

GetType is evaluated at run-time, and non-dynamic declaration is at compile-time (it does get more specific than that, yes), so no. Even var will require you to assign a value to it that is of unambiguous type.
