            In nearly every style guide, even my own crazy one, variables are camelCase. I'm left to wonder how the shift key even got pressed.

                No, just have tubes in you. You would also get have a tube in your mouth where you would suck your food and water mix. That way you don't even have to move for anything at all.

                          I do that only for private variables used by property accessors. :P

                            Yeah, and another sign is when you type this. to grab a property name that you are not sure what you named it and it is a few lines up, but off the screen :) Who wants to scroll that far ;)

                            Guilty as charged.... :) I use SharpDevelop alot at work, and I been using the "this." trick for a while... it's just so much easier than scrolling up, finding the name, scrolling down, type the full var name. It also saves a couple of extra keypresses by pressing return/tab when it hits the right option! :)

                                I've done that more than once. I always go back and take out the "this." just in case someone else has to review my code.

                                      I would have thought you would want to keep this. in there for other programmers, I sometimes remove mine but only for myself! :) If you ever try and use Reflector to view a project, it normally has the "this." before every function... not sure if it for optimisation or what... and to be honest I'm too lazy to find out... but hey, thats what this thread is all about isnt it! :)

                                        I would have thought you would want to keep this. in there for other programmers, I sometimes remove mine but only for myself! :) If you ever try and use Reflector to view a project, it normally has the "this." before every function... not sure if it for optimisation or what... and to be honest I'm too lazy to find out... but hey, thats what this thread is all about isnt it! :)

                                        Resharper, which is a refactoring tool we use here at work, says that "this." is redudant and can be removed. I saw an option somewhere that would go through your code and remove redundant "this." and other things, but now I can't find it, and of course, I'm too lazy to search for it.
