Why does C# programmers use

I'm with you, Konstantin. Superflous
this's make me shudder. I will probably be scorned by the masses, but I'm going to continue using 'm_' prefixes for my member variables. cheers, Chris Maunder -
It is rather nice to use 'this' if you are not using the Hungarian notation. You can readily distinguish members. Another reason is that you get Intellisense support for members of the current class. Regards, Suresh

True, but I've found that you can get the same thing by always prefixing your member variables with the 'm_' wart. Then, when you want to reference one, type 'm_' and then hit Ctrl+Spacebar, and IntelliSense will pop up. These days I can hit Ctrl+Space almost as fast as Alt+F+S :) -- Russell Morris "WOW!

The only names that can clash in C# are function arguments and member variables... right? Then it's very easy to spot which names are local to the member and which are local to the object/class. And "this" could very well be replaced with "m_", then there is no ambiguity (and less to type as well!) just m_ away :) Sonorked as well: 100.13197 jorgen FreeBSD is sexy.

Its a standard notation in oop languages a specially in Java and C# you are using namespacing in c# and in your namespace you might have some int or.. that have the same name but don't belong to the class?? The other thing is when you using this. you get intelihelp from Visual Studio :-) /Jarek "Imagination is more important than knowledge, for knowledge is limited while imagination embraces the entire world." -Albert Einstein

This excessive use of "this" is just too much noice.

IIRC the only instance names that can clash in C# are member variables and function arguments. So I don't see how you can mistake a variable name for another (except for the member/function argument case). Jarek Gibek wrote: The other thing is when you using this. you get intelihelp from Visual Studio Ok, I'll buy that. But I'll bet you a million that "m_" is faster to type than "this." :) Sonorked as well: 100.13197 jorgen FreeBSD is sexy.
