WHAT 75 of us had for dinner in a 5-star Marriotts a couple of years ago during a company retreat week-end. Testament to the awesomeness of bangers and mash? Or, a meal unfit for the venue?

IN .NET, there is no difference between declaring variables inside loops and declaring variables outside loops. Here is the proof.

Here are two programs inside.cs and outside.cs, appropriately named to reflect the two ways respectively.

And, here is the ILASM obtained by disassembling inside.exe and outside.exe.

As you can see, the two are the same.

So, please leave those variables inside loops when they are not needed outside. Having the variables closer to their point of use makes the code easier to read.
