What's Wrong with this?(devblog.ailon.org)

submitted by ailon(1335) 3 years, 8 months ago

Every time I read a C# book or an article or just a code sample in MSDN I can't stop wondering why don't people use this qualifier unless it's absolutely required? What do we sacrifice code readability for?

FWIW, the recently released Microsoft StyleCop tool reports violations if you fail to use the 'this' keyword in front of member accesses.

I haven't used StyleCop ( yet), but I rarely use "this" unless I need to because it looks ugly. Also, I've never found it easier to read code without it being used. But that's just me. ;)

Interestingly, Resharper flags usages of this as a style warning. It considers it redundant. Personally, I like this because it makes it immediately obvious that the variable is not local.
