this (another C# programmer rant)

In vs2k3, intilisense didn't start as soon as you began typing. IF you weren't sure what the variable was called you had to type
this.to make it come up. Not needed int 2k8, I never used 2k5; could just be an old bad habit.Today's lesson is brought to you by the word "niggardly". Remember kids, don't attribute to racism what can be explained by Scandinavian language roots. -- Robert Royall

Code:
public override string ToString() { string s = String.Empty; for (long i = 0; i < this.k; ++i) { s += this.data\[i\].ToString() + " "; } return s; } // ToString()I HATE WHEN PROGRAMMERS USE THIS. this.k??? Give me a FB!!!! That doesn't even make sense from a "I'm saving keystrokes by prefixing with "this." so Intellisense kicks in." Marc

Too bad for you. Personally I'm not much fussed by this rule. There are many things that irritate me more. :)

i dont know why stylecop is pushing the "this." rule, while Resharper always yell at you when you do so.

Visual Studio generated code uses it everywhere. Drives me nuts coming from a C++ background.

Designer files look like a Christmas tree when running ReSharper (full of warning notifications). :P

I admit I was doing
thisas well when I started C# programming. Now I'm running ReSharper and it marksthiskeyword use as a warning so I clean them up whenever I find them in my old code. One use is when a private field has the same name as a constructor parameter, e.g.public class A
{
private string name;public A (string name) { //name = name; // ERROR this.name = name; // OK! }}
But of course this means you need some naming conventions. ;)

I don't think it should be mandated. But OTOH why would Resharper explicitly reject it? What's their rationale?

dont know about jetbrain stand about it...maybe thats why they flag it as a warning. for me its a personal choice ;)

Wouldn't it be better though to name the fields differently? I prefix all private fields with an underscore _. Um, I'm not looking to start that debate again. :P

hehe. I personally don't like underscores, but at least I'm consistent in how I write my classes. :) Marc

No C++ programmers in that thread. This.IsGreat(true); Personally, I really hate to see “::someMetod() “ in the code. Why it is so difficult for someone to type the base class name?!? - especially if you have a multiple inheritance.

That's not how the scope resolution operator is behaving in this instance. This usage says to look outside the class for resolution. So, if you're using a file function called: open, and you have a member of your class called open, and you want to open a file you'd prefix it as: ::open which would call the c function and not the C++ method.
I've heard more said about less.
