Does "var" keyword hampers code readability? [closed]

Question

I just started using Resharper. One of its features is that it suggests changes to the code based on, i suppose, good coding practices.

One of the changes it suggested is to change the variable type to var during assignment. I kept on changing and now the code has var everywhere. Somehow I get the feeling that "var" keyword makes the code a bit difficult to understand.

Is it a good coding practice to use "var" whereever possible or is it better to stick with the actual type. (except anonymous types where its required to use "var")

Thanks.

Answer 1

I suggest using var when you have code like this:

var surelyAnXText = new XText(...);

where you always can tell the want type we are declaring a variable of. But not when you have something like this:

var whatIsThis = foo.Some_Method_Where_You_Cant_Tell_The_Return_Type_From_The_Name();
