Question

I use a custom set of rules in StyleCop along with it’s ReSharper plugin to automatically check my code as I type.

The rule SA1101 in StyleCop states that calls to members of the current class need to begin with this. to indicate that it is in-fact defined in the current class.

Is there a way to set it up so when I go to auto-complete a member of the class, it automatically adds in the this. prefix, so I don’t have to remember how to type it or add it afterwards?

Lets use public bool Running { get; set; } as an example:

I type “Run” + Tab, and right now it comes out to Running, but I would like it to come out as this.Running.

This would save a-lot of time and typing.

EDIT

Please note that the option ReSharper => Options => Code Editing => C# => Formatting Style => Other => "Force 'this.' qualifier for instance member" (as mentioned by Jon) in resharper does not work as intended. Neither when adding a ; at the end of the statement (which would be acceptable), or after the tab is this. being added to the class member.

Answer 1

If you go to

ReSharper => Options => Code Editing => C# => Formatting Style => Other

there is an option called “Force ‘this.’ qualifier for instance member”.

Enabling it should work as you intend.
