You can't define a variable in an inline if statement. The correct way would be:

System.Data.Foo _Foo=null;
if(foo==null)
_Foo = new System.Data.Foo;

//or better yet:
System.Data.Foo _Foo=(foo==null ? new System.Data.Foo : null);

If you use:

if (foo == null)
{
System.Data.Foo _Foo = new System.Data.Foo;
}

Now _Foo is only available within the { and }. Now, if you could use the short version:

if (foo == null)
System.Data.Foo _Foo = new System.Data.Foo;

...then where would _Foo be available? In the { and }, which you left out, or in the parent's context (e.g. between the methods { and })? Because of this confusion, it is not possible.
