    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.

          ...you type a variable name in Visual Studio's editor, accidentally capitalise the first two letters, and continue on, waiting for the auto-corrector to kick in and fix the mistake. :doh:

          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.

                            "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 :).

                                        man, I do that in Word! who needs to be bothered by capitalizing the first letter of every sentence? now I just blissfully type in lowercase. it only screws me up when I'm not using Word (like here!) :laugh:
