Tuple.Create() vs new Tuple

Question

Consider the following expressions:

new Tuple(1,2);

Tuple.Create(1,2);

Is there any difference between these two methods of Tup

Answer 1

Well, this questions is old... but nevertheless I think I may contribute constructively. From the accepted answer:

I suppose one benefit is that, since you don't have to specify the type with Tuple.Create, you can store anonymous types for which you otherwise wouldn't be able to say what the type is

The consequence is true: you can store anonymous types for which ...

But the first part:

since you don't have to specify the type with Tuple.Create

is not always true. Consider the following scenario:

interface IAnimal
{
}

class Dog : IAnimal
{
}

The following will not compile:

Tuple myWeirdTuple;

myWeirdTuple = Tuple.Create(new Dog());

You will have to specify the type parameter in the Create method like this:

myWeirdTuple = Tuple.Create(new Dog());

which is as verbose as calling new Tuple(new Dog()) IMO
