It depends on what the context of your program is. You need to provide more information as to what you have accomplished so far and where you are trying to insert a var data type.

More exactly, not that it depends on the context — this is not a type at all, and the actual type is inferred. Please see my answer.

C# "var" is not a type at all. You cannot find it in Intellisense. This is a keyword which serves as a placeholder of the type in a variable declaration, and only in the case when the actual type can be inferred from the initializing expression. To understand how it works, you should learn about type inference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/jj131514.aspx[^].
