Edit Question
Title
Body
if(true) { string var = "VAR"; } string var = "New VAR!"; This will result in: Error 1 A local variable named 'var' cannot be declared in this scope because it would give a different meaning to 'var', which is already used in a 'child' scope to denote something else. Nothing earth shattering really, but isn't this just plain wrong? A fellow developer and I were wondering if the first declaration should be in a different scope, thus the second declaration cannot interfere with the first declaration. Why is C# unable to differentiate between the two scopes? Should the first IF scope not be completely separate from the rest of the method? I cannot call var from outside the if, so the error message is wrong, because the first var has no relevance in the second scope.
