    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.

              Some start their variable names with an underscore.

              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.

                      Chris, I ALWAYS don't use the shift key. If the IDE corrects it, I know I got the name right!

                          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.

                                    Productivity = (smart)Laziness; Sorriness = (self_serving)Laziness; Why allow the clouds of tomorrow to obscure the sunshine of today? Why live in fear and sorrow for what has not yet come my way?

                                        "you type a variable name in Visual Studio's editor, accidentally capitalise the first two letters" That's too much to do :D I'm too lazy for that. I write the first two to three letters of the type, then hit SPACE, then hit CTRL+SPACE waiting for Resharper to give intellisense to the for the variable name suggestions and choose one :).

                                          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 ;)
