Possible to initialize multiple variables from a tuple?

Valid up to C# 6:

No, this is not possible. There's no such language feature in C#.

If you think the following code:

string firstValue = tupleWithTwoValues.Item1;
string secondValue = tupleWithTwoValues.Item2;

is ugly, then you should reconsider using tuples at the first place.

UPDATE: As of C# 7, tuple deconstruction is now possible. See the documentation for more information.

See Jared's answer as well.

This is now available in C# 7:

public (string first, string last) FullName()
{
    return ("Rince", "Wind");
}

(var first, var last) = FullName();

You can even use a single var declaration:

var (first, last) = FullName();
