C# @ modifier for methods parameters

Question

I was using ReSharper plugin on VS2010 and i was generating an interface method. ReSharper put an @ on the parameter name. WHat is that used for?

int Count(Func&         


        

Answer 1

The @ symbol allows you to use reserved words in a variable name.

int @class = 1;

void MyMethod(int @goto);

bool @public { get; set; }

As Marc correctly pointed out in his comment and his answer, ReSharper is actually wrong to do this because where is a Contextual Keyword and is not actually a reserved word, so your method will compile without the @.
