C#

var url = "<a href="http://someapi">http://someapi</a>";

Is there some benefit to declaring most things var instead of what they actually are? In the case above, a string.

Uri siteUri = new Uri("<a href="http://www.contoso.com/">http://www.contoso.com/</a>");

Dim something = "my string"

var wr = WebRequest.Create(siteUri);

var url = "http:// www. contoso.com/";
var request = WebRequest.Create (url);
